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.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, a lot of our projects have to do with maintaining assets that are already existing and also ensuring safety at the same time. So the last time that the territorial park marina went through extensive renovation was in 2017. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as it stands with the existing program, education bodies already formally report on types of food and program -- that their program offers and the average number of children and youth served, and those are all available online through annual reports that are already published.

In addition to that, ECE is going to be engaging with education bodies to set more formal targets specific to this new funding. So that could be tracking the expansion and enhancements of existing programs and infrastructure improvements to really show what kind of impact these dollars...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I guess there's a lot of different people have different definitions and when you have to get out of your vehicle and you hike in with a backpack on your back and set up next to a road, whether that's 20 feet or, you know, 20 hours, it's still something that is different than the traditional camp experience. It is something that fills a need in the territory and so that's why this exists. I think that we'll have a multitude of different people using it. I could see people from, you know, along the North Slave wanting to go out for a weekend. I can see...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. That is certainly my goal, and our current go live date is June of 2026. For further detail, Mr. Chair, can I pass to the deputy minister, please.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm very thankful that this program is willing to be flexible in how we administer it within the Northwest Territories within the criteria that I outlined for the Member. But that being said, the current formula funding for the Healthy Food Learning is going to be used, and that formula allows us to distribute based on student populations, also based on food cost indexes for the region the school is located in, and also the median incomes of communities. And so it will be flexible and responsive to where the students live and also the flexibility...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, about 53 percent of our visitors to our parks annually are non-NWT residents but that means that 47 percent are NWT residents that use our parks. In the case of this, we do end up with a lot of information about people camping on the side of the road and using those spaces. A lot of those people we know are Northerners as well, and so this is targeting both residents and non-residents. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, on this particular project, the original budget was $4.2 million over a three-year time period and throughout the project, because of different delays, it was readjusted to a budget of $3.7 million over five years. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I'm going to start my statement in Dene Kede.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that information on hand at this time, but -- yes, I don't have that information on hand at this time. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I can definitely share that the mayor has not raised concerns about this particular project to me but certainly this project's lifetime predates my time in this seat, and so with your permission, Mr. Chair, through yourself, I'd like to pass it to the deputy minister.
