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.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 111)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Government of the Northwest Territories has a moral and ethical obligation to root out racism in our institutions. This obligation extends beyond the overt, visible, and obvious acts of hate and violence that we can easily see and condemn. It includes the subtle hidden systemic racism that persists in legislation, policies and practices.

Systemic racism is real. It exists in the Northwest Territories and it exists in our government. Some of our institutions, policies, and practices continue to disadvantage or discriminate against black...

Question 1078-19(2): Northwest Territories Business Protection with Inflation
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 111)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on this one here I was looking for kind of commitments around what conversations are happening at federal tables in order to protect NWT businesses in contracts that they have entered into before COVID, before inflation, and that they are now bound to in this new market. And especially where we heard today a contract was signed in 2019, it is now 2022, and the work is still being expected to be on time well, it's not on time, on budget, under the same scope. And so you how is the GNWT working with the federal government to protect northern...
