Statements in Debates

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank, Madam Chair. Is any of that cost associated with, say for instance, Snare Hydro going down and the cost of running off hydro here in Yellowknife? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Basically, this $12.38 million goes towards projects that are accessed probably mainly by residents and businesses, private businesses? Is that correct? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to go to page 251, highway operations. I'm just wondering if any of that expenditure relates to new technology to address any issues with our highways? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank you, Madam Chair. The question I have now is for smaller communities. I am just wondering if the research is being done to see the savings in the smaller communities, as well? Because I know that we look at the Housing Corporation and we say they should sometimes upgrade their houses, make them airtight, and all this. That causes mould problems. It causes a whole bunch of things which we pay for down the road, and then there are really no cost savings. I just want to make sure that what we're doing here isn't creating more problems that will cost us in the end, anyway. If the Minister...

Capacity building opportunities are important. As a First Nations person, I find the best way to learn is always hands-on training that meets regional and local needs.

That's all. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 63)

Thank you, Madam Chair. We, as a government, use our own resources? We're not receiving federal dollars, then, to fund Metis Health Benefits?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 63)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about the NIHB, as well. With respect to dental care, I've been on the receiving end of just getting my teeth pulled because the first thing they ask you is, "What healthcare do you have? NIHB? Oh, sorry." With respect to that, there seems to be a discrepancy, or is there a discrepancy, in costing between status Indians who are Indigenous people who are from the Northwest Territories versus those who are living here, still under NIHB, but from down south? Are they included in the costs that you are showing here? For instance, the Metis, we have...
