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

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister tell me what the additional amount that the GNWT stands to collect from unauthorized land occupancy would be?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to the significant increase in travel for the Department of Justice under the community justice and policing section? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just looking here at page 284, which indicates that there are three additional positions going into headquarters. I'm wondering if the Minister can explain to me what the positions are. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

I am wondering if local Indigenous governments are supportive of land-transfer initiatives within the City of Yellowknife.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In reviewing the budget, it's apparent that our corrections budget is over half of what we contribute, as the GNWT, to our housing budget, to the NWT Housing Corporation. Just in line with the Member for Yellowknife Centre's questions, finding ways to help people reintegrate back into their home communities would be very valuable to the government, so I am wondering if the Department of Justice has any plans to review corrections programs, to hopefully be able to work with inmates to better reduce recidivi -- oh, my gosh. I can't say that word, recidivi -- yes, what Mr...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Lands. In regard to transferring Commissioner's land within city boundaries to the City of Yellowknife, what formal arrangements have been put in place at this time for this initiative and what are their timelines? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

I need a button. Thank you. I appreciate that one a lot. I am wondering if the Minister can let us know what rate of Nunavut inmates choose to stay within Yellowknife following their incarceration. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister did set up a very helpful tour for a lot of Members, at the North Slave Correctional Facility, that a lot of us did partake in, and it was really nice to have the opportunity during that visit to meet with the facility's traditional counsellor who is employed there. I am wondering, because a lot of inmates in the Northwest Territories are also on a healing journey when they are in our correctional facilities, does the traditional counsel have their own budget line item for cultural activities within the facilities? Thank you

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Okay. It does fall under here, but we are not entirely sure where. Maybe that would be under compensation and benefits? I am going to take a guess. There is a bit of an increase there, but I think it is from UNW forced growth. I am wondering if there is an increase, for this fiscal year, of leadership professional development training for corrections officers. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 12)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regards to the protection against family violence line, does this also include financial support for victims of family violence? Thank you.
