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 143)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Is there a funding pot that supports people who are leaving incarceration from our other correctional facilities, for example, North Slave correctional centre here in Yellowknife? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, open the GNWT's 2030 Energy Strategy and you find multiple suggested solutions to help reduce the territory's greenhouse gas emissions. Small wind turbines, the Inuvik wind turbine, liquified natural gas, solar, mini hydro, and transmission lines to connect grids, come together in this plan with promises of 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving our both energy solutions doesn't only get us closer to our GHG goals, it supports our collective economic goals through potential critical mineral industry expansion and our individual goal of...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

I can be way more specific. Thank you, Madam Chair. How much does it actually cost to reintegrate offenders into our communities in the Northwest Territories, because I'm not sure that $179,000 actually accomplishes what we're setting out to accomplish. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, where do the like, is it out of this pocket of money then that dollars, for example, for support with housing people on release would come from? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am going to wait for questions on additional key activities. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. No. And I appreciate the direction providing communities with the autonomy of being able to decide what their own program looks like and what is best in a communitydriven manner. I agree with that and appreciate that and I, you know, look forward to hearing some success stories from these programs. My concern is not about how the department is running the program. My concern is strictly in regards to who has access to that program. And, you know, running a program like this in five communities out of 33 and then having $17,000 left over for 28 additional...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And my next question is this work and this position best placed within the Department of Justice, or would it make more sense for this position and this work to be placed within EIA if it is if the intent is an allofgovernment approach that needs some teeth in order to move people in that direction? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 143)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So at the end of this fiscal year, we'll go from five programs being supported to three programs being supported. Is the intent to open the funding back up then to two more communities, or what is the intent for the next fiscal year for the men's healing fund? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment in regards to the early childhood infrastructure fund. Currently the fund is set at $1 million every year, and I'm wondering if there is a plan to increase this fund given ECE's current child care goals? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 141)

No, that's excellent. We look forward to seeing it and working with Cabinet on it. Thank you.
