Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Always happy to hear 75/25, 75 cent federal infrastructure projects, especially for social infrastructure. That's a good job if we can accomplish that. I guess I see that there is $26 million for large capital projects. You know, can someone tell me how much money that the department is currently asking the Assembly for presently? I get we don't have a final cost but my understanding is by asking for this money, we're going to go borrow it for a project that has not secured federal funding, has not selected a location, and whose estimated completion date is inaccurate in...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, okay, I heard, you know, up to 36 months for construction. So I imagine that this even this 20242025 in the capital estimates here is probably ambitious. So it seems there's some issues with the cost. Is there any hope I can get an estimate of what this building is going to cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No, I'll raise this during Infrastructure as well. I know what happened well, what happened now, since we put a bunch of cabins out on Tibbitt, is that everyone parks along the side of the road and then a few years ago Infrastructure started telling people you can't park on the side of the road. So there's no parking. And this goes back to, you know, perhaps inconsistent land uses on the Ingraham Trail. But just anyways, I'll raise this with the Department of Infrastructure that I'm hoping we can get some sort of small area so people can park their vehicles and have a garbage can. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions are regarding the wellness and recovery centre which I believe is the shelter that is planned to be built. Well, I guess it was originally planned to be built kind of by the old St. John's Ambulance there on what I believe is I don't know the streets in Yellowknife. So can I just confirm well, whether that is the location or whether I know there was a request from the City of Yellowknife to put it in the current location of the day shelter where the trailers are but whether we have decided on a location? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

I see that there's a Yellowknife River day area accessible boardwalk. Can I just get a couple more sentences about what that's about. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have reviewed the Minister's department has kind of created a process that any community can look to if they want to go through a similar process, and I appreciate that. I am just wondering if we can get a bit more of a detailed timeline for the remaining process, you know, and the stages to transfer land. I understand there is this land selection, we need the City of Yellowknife to go and do that, we need them to get back to us on an MOU, and then there's a number of processes, surveying and then ultimately transfer. But I am just wondering if somewhere there could...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you. Yeah, okay, I see that. So we spent $2 million on it last year, then it's presumably next fiscal we'll spend another $2 million or so to get us there. Can I just get a bit more information on this? Have we secured a tender for it? Is someone who's building us this, or yeah, I don't know where you actually go to buy a minerals registry system. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to recognize the page from Yellowknife North, Mr. Logan Doll. You're doing a great job, thank you

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you I see we have $100,000 for the mineral and administration and registry system, also known as the MARS system. I believe this is the software necessary to give us online map staking the minute the regulations are in force. Can I get, well, get confirmation that that's true and when we can expect to have online map staking.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Yes, okay. I think that does answer my question. So, and the reason I don't see that here is because the estimated completion for that is this fiscal, and we are on budget and on time for Stanton Legacy opening at the end of this fiscal and spending this $40 million or whatever the number 40 something million dollars that it costs, is that correct? Thank you
