Statements in Debates
I would like to ask the Minister when Highway No. 6 will be completed 100 per cent to a chipseal state.
Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, [no translation provided]. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate the students who have graduated from high school this year in Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. In Lutselk'e, there were three who graduated; Nathan Lockhart and Curtis Lockhart, who are twins, and Ethan Catholique. In Ndilo, there were four graduates, Brent Betsina, Frank Betsina, Laveena Black, Kevin Mackeinzo. In Fort Resolution, there were eight graduates. This matched the most that had ever graduated at the Deninu School, I believe. They were Laney Beaulieu, Roger Beck, Jacob Boucher, Zachary...
Marci cho, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that we rise and report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I wanted to ask if the federal government did consult with ENR on species at risk, but I guess my question would now be: does the GNWT or ENR have equal say in whether or not they are going to place a species-at-risk designation on the various species in the NWT, specifically caribou in this case?
Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources questions about species at risk, the caribou. My first question is: what actions will be taken for the species at risk, and will those actions impact Indigenous hunters? Thank you.
Insofar as local business and so on on the highway, I would like to ask the Minister if there was a lot of local labour, and the sense I am trying to get is the numbers, if the Minister has the numbers, of what percentage of the people working on site were from Fort Resolution and so on. Just a feel of what type of local business and local employment was seen on Highway No. 6 to date.
Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of Infrastructure questions on Highway No. 6; that is Highway No. 6 that runs into Fort Resolution. I would like to ask the Minister what the current status of the highway is insofar as the construction phase. Whether they are currently on the highway, they are shut down for the winter, that type of status, I am looking for. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in the Minister of Health and Social Services' statement, he spoke of a shortfall of 258 long-term beds. I would like to ask the Minister if this number takes into account all of the work that is happening in home care to keep people at home. Thank you.
Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, [no translation provided].
Mr. Speaker, I am continuing my series of eulogies for people who have passed from sitting to sitting in my riding. Today I have two eulogies. I will first speak of Antoine Michel. Antoine Michel was born April 17, 1953, and passed away July 24, 2017, at the age of 64.
Mr. Speaker, Antoine came from a large family in Lutselk'e, the Michel family, and he also had family in Ndilo and Behchoko. Antoine was a well-known individual in the community; a respected leader and a hard-working man. Antoine was very-well liked in his community...
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that we rise and report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
