Caitlin Cleveland

Membre de Kam Lake

Circonscription électorale de Kam Lake

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

Oral Question 779-19(2): Great Slave Lake Commercial Fisheries
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 81)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment.

My first question is will the department commit to advocating on behalf of NWT fishers on the FFMC board to ensure any NWT fishers who wish to supply southern markets can obtain broad exemptions from the corporation within a timely manner? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this democratic institution is a place of strength because we are able to discuss issues, reach new understandings, and make inclusive decisions. One of the most valuable tools we have at our disposals is the combination of our diverse work experience and unique lived experience. We have all travelled different journeys to be here. Mr. Norn himself has worked as an RCMP officer; MLA Semmler as a public health nurse; Minister Archie worked as a chief negotiator and spent her childhood living a traditional lifestyle; MLA Martselos served her people as Chief...

Tabled Document 462-19(2): Letter received November 8, 2021 from Multiple Constituents regarding Compensation and Incentives for Essential Workers
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table a letter received from multiple constituents on November 8th, 2021 regarding compensation and incentives for essential workers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Oral Question 773-19(2): Northwest Territories Arts Program
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I think that there's some great precedent already within ITI. We have the fur program which works quite well and has been very successful. My last question for the Minister, then, is would the Minister of ITI, given that they do have the film commission and they do have support for entrepreneurs of the arts, would they support an independent arm's length council? Thank you.

Committee Report 152-19(2): Committee Report 16-19(2):  Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Housing Phase One:  Needs for NWT Homeowners and Private Landlords – Government Response to Recommendations, Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you for the opportunity to speak to this document.

After a year, the NWT was expecting a gold plan to guide the NWT through economic recovery. The NWT expected a transformative document that would detail specific actions with creditable budget lines and timelines. Without these, it makes it difficult for our side of the House to hold the other side of the House accountable. Identifying broadly what sectors the government wanted to focus isn't enough. People want to know how the government is going to create an impact. And for example, what longstanding...

Oral Question 773-19(2): Northwest Territories Arts Program
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm very excited about that program. And I'd like to offer, as a Member of standing committee that will be going into communities, to take any of that information into communities with me and I think that MLAs can be a really good resource to get information out on that.

So I guess I'm wondering, too, does ITI know who the primary markets are for NWT arts and who they're trying to attract to purchase more NWT art and who's already paying attention? Thank you.

Committee Report 151-19(2): Committee Report 16-19(2):  Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Housing Phase One:  Needs for NWT Homeowners and Private Landlords – Home Insurance Benefit Allowance, Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories expand and develop the current home insurance benefit allowance to support future and existing homeowners. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Oral Question 770-19(2): NWT Arts Council
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering if the Department of Education, Culture and Employment has the capacity to complete this work during the length of the 19th Assembly? Thank you.

Committee Motion 149-19(2): Committee Report 16-19(2):  Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Housing Phase One:  Needs for NWT Homeowners and Private Landlords – Interdepartmental Policy Barriers for Homeowners, carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much. I've got a double up here so I'm going to... sorry, Mr. Chair, I appear to have a copy that is not  give me a second. I've got a repeat of recommendations.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories remove interdepartmental policy barriers for homeowners, including requirements to be on the public housing waitlist and the payment of utility arrears. This also includes removing the policy barrier requiring applicants to sell their homes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Oral Question 770-19(2): NWT Arts Council
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 80)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Would the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment support the NWT Arts Council as an independent arts organization? Thank you.
