Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Would the Minister then commit to providing information to the House about how much we’re spending to build these homes, operate them, and what sort of revenues we’re getting back? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just would like to go back to the Mackenzie Valley development contribution of $400,000. I believe I heard the Minister say that we’re spending $100,000 for offices and salary and so on. What’s the other $300,000 for then? Thanks. Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. As I understand it, this is something that was set up as a result of requirements in the federal legislation. We simply mirrored it, but I have some questions about how that was done and so on. I want to start with the revenue line here. There’s a big drop between 201415 and 201516. Can someone explain what that drop is all about? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess though in some cases the Minister’s getting advice from the same people? Because probably some of the same people involved in the chamber are also involved with the Mineral Industry Advisory Board? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Why I’m asking this reason or these questions is I’m concerned that, look, I think we all want to keep RCMP in the communities and we want to look after them and treat them well and so on, but we’re devoting our scarce O and M funds, maybe even some capital funds, to building housing that perhaps the RCMP should be managing and doing themselves. Is this taking away from our ability to provide housing for our own people in our own communities? That’s the question I guess I have for the Minister. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The amount of money in this line is decreasing over time. Is that what we can expect in the future as well? I am just not sure what we are getting out of the secondary industry at this point. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment by the Minister. I’m just trying to understand, are we still voting on the number that’s listed over on page 246? Does that change in some amount, or I just don’t understand how this is going to appear. Presumably, the departmental budget overall is not changing, but we’re talking about… The Minister talked about some internal reallocations. How does that show up in the mains? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Is that the public accounts then? Thanks Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I presume that we’re in the right section here, so what’s the funding for the Mineral Industry Advisory Board? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
