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.

Déclarations dans les débats

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

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, does the Minister have a breakdown of the percent or amount within this $44 million that serves youth aging out of care? That might be a little bit too specific for here today but if possible, I'm wondering if the Minister does have that breakdown. Thank you.

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

Yeah, thank you very much, Madam Chair. And this is not a comment only directed at the health minister but I think all Ministers, is I think we really need to have a better idea of what supports Jordan's Principle is applying to the GNWT because I think that it is far greater than any of us actually realizes. And my concern is if those supports disappear, we will be really struggling in our territory. So I think it's important that we have an idea of what that dollar figure is. Thank you, Madam Chair.

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

Thank you very much for that, Madam Chair. That was a very helpful differentiation.

I'm wondering if the Minister can let us know how many youth in care that this $44 million serves and how many youth it serves who are under voluntary service agreement, just for numbers purposes. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am seeing a significant decrease in the top line item of advanced education and strategic initiatives. And I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to why we're seeing such a huge gap between the revised estimates for 20222023 and the main estimates for 20232024. Thank you.

Question 1425-19(2): Giant Mine Remediation
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I was furiously writing and so I am going to have to go back through Hansard as well. And I appreciate that the government is working with YKDFN on a socio-economic agreement. One of the things that I am hearing, and that I'm talking about right now, is that there's not really a clear understanding of whether or not a project is going to be $1 million, if it's going to come out and be a $100 million, and the capacity of northern businesses to be able to kind of play ball in those ball fields is much different, right? If you need a team of five people...

Question 1425-19(2): Giant Mine Remediation
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I'm happy that the Minister was able to read my mind because I just realized I gave him zero context about what we're speaking about. So just for Hansard, we're talking about Giant Mine. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering if the Minister can provide some clarity as to what rate these work hours are going to southern workers because of available northern workers are either being underbid versus there being no NWT bidders? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize my page, Paige Hawthorne, who has joined us here in the House this week from Kam Lake and thank her for all of her hard work. Thank you.

Committee Motion 369-19(2): Tabled Document 813-19(2): Main Estimates 2023-2024 – Education, Culture and Employment – Deferral of Department (page 29), Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Mahsi, Madam Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment at this time. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I wanted to ask now about some funding that's been moved around, and I just was wondering if the Minister can help me understand it.

But the Labour Market Development Agreement has moved from fund one to fund three, and I'm unsure what this means and so I'm wondering if the Minister can explain this to me? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 145)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if the SNAP apprentices also come out of here?
