Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my question is in the previous one about CAP and local roads. I had in my mind to ask about the program where the department provides docks in the communities, but I am not really sure where that budget item sits, so I would ask the question here, in regional operations, if they have money set aside, aside from the CAP funding, if there is other money set aside for the dock program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you. On page 245, we have a budget for CAP. On page 246, we have a contribution. Is this page the detail of the previous page? Mr. Chair, that is my question.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Sorry, Mr. Chairman. I thought that page 246 was a different task, but I see that it is just a different section. I have a question on the next page. On the local community roads, I am wondering if the Minister could briefly describe that program to me, that contribution. How does the contribution work? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I was including the extra $500,000. In the response earlier, then, does that mean that was fully subscribed to the $1 million as opposed to the $1.5 million? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. They have up until the end of this year to get the receipts in for payment. I take it all the applications up to the full amount were approved, and now they are just waiting for the invoicing portion of it, I take it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That's all I have for that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee would like to consider Minister's Statement 32-18(3), Update on the Northwest Territories Disability Framework and Action Plan, followed by consideration of Tabled Document 63-18(3), Main Estimates 2018-2019, with the Department of Infrastructure as items for discussion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this question would also be applicable to all the other revolving funds that are in this department.

In this particular one, and they're all similar, there is a $55 million Petroleum Products Revolving Fund. It appears as though they drew down $37.4 million. My question is: is $55 million recorded in the debt or is it separate from the debt, or is it $37 million that's recorded in the debt or is it separate from the debt? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today celebrates International Women's Day. This year marks the 109th global commemoration for women, as International Women's Day was first celebrated in 1909. This day was meant to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This day is about calling out the many injustices that women are faced with every day, such as gender discrimination, gender violence, and the constant battle to fight for and safeguard women's rights.
