Thanks, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister. I wait anxiously for that information on timing.

Where is it within MACA? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 68)

Thanks to the Minister. That’s unfortunate because on February 6th the Minister said to Mr. Dolynny that the final report is expected this winter. Now I just heard the Minister say that we’re not going to get it within this Assembly, so that’s disturbing. It’s more than two years that we’ve been waiting for this pharmaceutical strategy. I can appreciate the difficulties with getting expertise to deal with it, but that seems like a very long time.

The Program Review Office has been involved somehow in developing this strategy and assisting the department. I’d like to know from the Minister what...

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 68)

Thanks to the Minister. I will provide that info. I am struggling to understand why MACA would have responsibility for municipal lands. I thought all Commissioner’s lands had been turned over to the Lands department. Does this mean that our communities are applying for lands in two places? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 67)

Thanks to the Minister. I understand that we are doing this work, but I don’t understand the actual focus of the work. In developing this Recreational Land Lease Policy, what is the department focusing in on or what particular kind of use is the department focusing in on? As part of that, I’d like to ask the Minister what his definition of recreational use is. Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank you and all my colleagues in the House for the pinkness yesterday. Anything we as Members can do to raise awareness of bullying is a good thing.

There was significant activity in the Great Hall at noon yesterday. Some 120 students from four Yellowknife schools were here for an anti-bullying event sponsored by the northern chapter of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Thank you to Jack Bourassa, Lorraine Hewlett, Mark Populous and other PSAC staff for once again organizing this event, and a huge thank you to the students and teachers from William...

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a motion. I move that Bill 41 be amended by deleting proposed subsection 106.1(1) in Clause 33 and substituting the following:

106.1(1) Subject to this section, a decision by the registrar under this act is final.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We wish to consider Bill 38 and Bill 41. Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 67)

Thanks. I didn’t hear an answer to my first question, but I imagine the Minister is still working on that.

The Minister, again, is referring to a huge demand for cabin lots or for hunting and fishing licences. I want to say again that this organization is asking for a piece of land that is not going to be used for cabin-type activities. It’s going to take motocross, dirt bikes, et cetera, out of the woods and onto a track which is where they need to be. They are planning on education. They are planning on youth. They are planning on highlighting safety and all that.

I would like to ask the...
