Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Transportation. I want to ask the Minister of Transportation questions on the Inuvik-Tuk highway.

Are we on schedule, on budget and on time to complete the highway as said in the House in previous years?

Thank you. I’ll continue working with the Minister on this issue. I want to look at the other areas in the Sahtu.

Have there been any other sites in the Good Hope/Colville Lake area in regards to mining activities that are left for remediation by this government or the federal government?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are to the Minister of ENR. In my Member’s statement I talked about the mining industry impacts. Today I want to focus on the environment and the cleanup, and later on I’ll focus on the business opportunities and the potential opportunities and challenges to date.

I want to ask the Minister of Environment, has this government been working with the federal government in regards to the Bear Lake remediation cleanup of the mines that have been happening in that area? It’s been reported that 700,000 tonnes of waste was dumped into Bear Lake. Is the government...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Moses.

The standing committee is deeply concerned by the attitude of disregard displayed by the department with respect to the 2009 review and hopes that future reviews of the Official Languages Act will be received respectfully and treated more seriously.

The failure of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to provide a final, public response to the 2009 report had the following impacts:

The department did not articulate which parts of the 2009 report it agreed with and was prepared to implement, nor provide any rationale for those...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Three hundred pages long, if we read one page a day I think we should get to it.

I want to ask the Minister, in the business case of the Mackenzie Valley Highway, as with the Inuvik-Tuk highway, are there pre-training types of employment opportunities for the Mackenzie Valley Highway in the business case with the Department of Transportation?

I ask this question because I would dearly love to see the Mackenzie Valley Highway right after this project. The lessons we are learning on the Inuvik-Tuk highway, it would be good to transfer those lessons to the Mackenzie Valley Highway from Norman Wells going to Wrigley for a portion.

Are the recommendations that we are learning on the Inuvik-Tuk highway going to be solidified in the Mackenzie Valley Highway?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to that list. The Doi T’oh Territorial Park and the Canol Heritage Trail are 942 square kilometres. Can I ask the Minister if he would provide a remediation, contamination report on the cleanup, because this is in discussion with this government here, as regards to our responsibility once all the checks and balances have been signed off and we take ownership of those two areas?

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories work more actively and closely with the Information and Privacy Commissioner on the implementation on the Health Information Act. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I too want to lend my support to our committee chair, Mr. Nadli, for the guidance and working with the Members here to have this bill before us. I also congratulate Mr. Miltenberger and his team for bringing this forward and having the flexibility and the foresight to see to this day here that the bill could come forward. It required some of the NEBS membership, also, and the hard work they’ve done with putting together with our Nunavut counterparts.

Also, more important were the hearings that we had here in Yellowknife that brought out some of these issues that make it...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Dolynny.

In market housing, a landlord who wishes to end a tenancy must generally obtain the agreement of the tenant. This means the tenant has security-of-tenure. However, since 2010, a new provision in the act allows a public housing landlord to end a fixed-term tenancy by giving 30 days’ notice, with a reason for termination. This provision contrasts with the security-of-tenure enjoyed by market housing tenants.

The committee noted that the matter of differential treatment for subsidized housing received considerable attention prior to the 2010...
