Statements in Debates

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, the Premier knows I'm pretty persistent because I've been raising this now, I think, for about seven years. So maybe it needs to go on a transition report or something for the next Assembly to deal with. I think that's all I've got on this one. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. So, yes, I think we can probably expect tourism to continue to pick up over the next year with the pandemic basically finally winding down. You know, where are we going with this stuff if there's it looks like the only increase in funding here is to NWT Tourism; how are we going to support folks moving forward? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. Well, the Premier jumped ahead a few of my questions there. But let's start with which communities don't have GSOs right now so that they can know that the Premier's ready to fund them when they submit a request. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. The visitor information centre line here, can the Minister tell us which visitor information centres are supported? And it doesn't look like there's any change there; I just want to confirm that. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I think this is the part of the budget where the government service officers are found, is that correct?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. So I know that there was some fanfare made about how some NGO funding was increased in the budget. And I'm just wondering I'm looking at page 239, grants, contributions. Can the Minister tell us whether any of the grants and contributions were increased as a result of forced growth? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Executive and Indigenous Affairs at this time. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess I'd like to get a commitment from the Premier then that the report recommendations, whatever, from this group are going to be made public and that there's going to be a response from the Cabinet to those recommendations that can also be made public. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I wish to tabling the following five documents: Mineral Resources Act Regulations Targeted Engagement with Mining Industry Presentations, Date Range 2021 July 8 to 2022 January 13; number 2, Mineral Resources Act Regulations Targeted Engagement with Mining Industry Presentations, Date range January 26, 2022 to February 23rd, 2022; number 3, Mineral Resources Act Regulations Targeted Engagement with Mining Industry Presentations, Date Range February 18, 2022 to May 17, 2022; number 4, Mineral Resources Act Regulations Targeted Engagement with Mining Industry...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Okay, thanks for that. So I take it then, though, that there is no increased funding for Status of Women Council for 20232024; that's what the numbers show. Why is there no forced growth increase for this NGO but there was for others? Thanks, Madam Chair.
