Caitlin Cleveland

Députée de Kam Lake

Ministre de l’Industrie, du Tourisme et de l’Investissement
Ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation

L’honorable Caitlin Cleveland a été élue pour la première fois en 2019 en tant que députée de la 19e Assemblée dans la circonscription de Kam Lake; elle assume les fonctions de ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation et de ministre de l’Industrie, du Tourisme et de l’Investissement depuis 2023, après avoir été élue par acclamation à la 20e Assemblée législative.

En plus d’avoir possédé et exploité une entreprise dans le Nord pendant plus de 20 ans, la ministre Cleveland a occupé divers rôles en communication et en politique dans les secteurs public et privé avant de se lancer en politique.

De 2019 à 2023, elle a présidé le Comité permanent des affaires sociales, réalisant ainsi son objectif de participer aux discussions et aux décisions concernant les programmes sociaux des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Accomplissant un travail remarquable au sein du Comité, elle a notamment guidé le rigoureux examen des recommandations sur le logement aux TNO et des contributions qui y ont été apportées, et a participé aux efforts liés à la prévention du suicide, à l’amélioration de la prise en charge des enfants placés et au soutien des familles.

Dans le cadre de ses portefeuilles, la ministre Cleveland s’efforce d’aider les enfants à devenir des Ténois épanouis qui savent saisir les occasions qui s’offrent à eux et bâtissent des carrières fructueuses, contribuant à une économie en pleine croissance. Elle préconise la mise en place de nouvelles approches en matière de diversification sectorielle et d’innovation, et veille à ce que le Nord accueille à la fois des travailleurs étrangers qualifiés et attire des investissements dans les ressources en minéraux critiques du territoire. Elle est sans relâche en quête de solutions pour un accès efficace et équitable aux programmes et aux services, œuvrant pour une vision commune des TNO où l’on aide les résidents à vivre, travailler et s’épanouir à leur guise. 

La ministre Cleveland réside avec son mari et leurs trois enfants à Yellowknife, où elle vit depuis toujours.

Committee Report 47-19(2): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Homelessness Prevention: Supporting Pathways to Housing NWT Residents
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 147)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that Committee Report 4719(2), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Homelessness Prevention: Supporting Pathways to Housing NWT Residents, be deemed read and printed in Hansard in its entirety. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 1437-19(2): Future of Local Housing Organizations
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 147)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, for over a century, Denmark has delivered social housing through non-profit housing organizations. These organizations develop and own the buildings and residents influence their living conditions through a system of tenant democracy. As a result, Danish non-profit housing development is highly regulated in terms of financing, design, construction, and management. By Danish law, each municipality reserves roughly 25 percent of its social housing stock for refugees, unemployed people, and people with disabilities. Capital for building social...

Committee Motion 371-19(2): Tabled Document 813-19(2): 2023-2024 Main Estimates – Legislative Assembly – Deferral of Department (Page 5), Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 147)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So would it be since they've been changed to fund three, is that something that we would expect to see stabilize over years to come, or are we still expecting to see quite a bit of fluctuation and movement in those line items? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So resubstantiated as needed for legal fees. I know that one of the things that social development had asked for was kind of an automatic avenue for people who are involved with child and family services to have access to a lawyer without having to kind of go the route of waiting in line from legal aid. And so would that kind of cover this or is it can the Minister speak a little bit more towards what specific legal fees would be covered under this line item. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm looking for the cost per bed to run a bed for a person who is in so not the capital cost but the O and M costs for a person who is in longterm care versus a person who is in extended care. I'm wondering what the number is that health uses in order to budget based on the number of rooms or number of clients they expect to have. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

I'll wait then. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I just wasn't sure if it was transferred other there or not. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, going forward, because it will no longer be a capital budget expenditure, it will be O and M, so in this kind of different scenario, we now lease this facility Stanton Legacy from a third party. And so any of deficiencies that are found within Stanton Legacy once it comes on board, are those going to be the responsibility of the third party, or how is that going to work, or have you divided up so that, you know, there is a clear indication of what will be the GNWT's responsibility for funding and what will be the third party's responsibility...

Written Question 63-19(2): Use of Indigenous Fonts on Official Documents
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a written question here entitled "Use of Indigenous Languages on Official Documents."

The last update I received from the Minister of Health and Social Services in regard to the Indigenous Fonts Working Group indicated the group had not yet met. As such, I have the following questions:

Will the Minister table the Terms of Reference for the interdepartmental Indigenous Fonts Working Group;

Has the working group met and is their work moving forward;

Has the working group delivered on the task to "assess the upstream and downstream implications...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Luckily it's a short season so it kind of gives me a good indication of when that might be.

Can the Minister also confirm that any cost associated with the move in will also be included in this $8.5 million? Thank you.

Written Question 61-19(2): Government of the Northwest Territories Sole Source Contracting under Procurement Criteria 1.8.2(a)
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question here entitled "Government of the Northwest Territories Sole Source Contracting under Procurement Criteria 1.8.2(a)."

Government contract regulations require all contracts be issued through a competitive process, unless they meet the regulatory requirements for sole source contracting. The Government of the Northwest Territories can enter into sole source contracts based on narrow criteria. One of these criteria states that performance of the contract is urgently required and delay would be injurious to the public interest. My...
