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

Thank you so much. So there is a carryover amount of $50,000, and that amount would need to be completed before the $315,000 can be spent.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is right, this project is 100 percent funded by the Canada Infrastructure Program and we, at this time, are not optimistic that this funding is going to be able to roll into another project in this year but certainly, when I kind of have all of these pieces brought together, I would be very happy to update the House on the current status of this project once we get to that decision-making.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would like to pass to the deputy minister for first crack at that one. Thank you.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, that is dollars that would have been allocated in a previous capital budget. However, because of evacuation, we did have some carryovers happen so that that will be carried over into this coming capital season. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And absolutely agree with the Member that it is certainly a location that is frequented by multiple residents of Yellowknife.

Currently, we don't have a final decision on this property. I wanted to be very transparent with this House as to where this project stands. We're continuing to work with ECC and Infrastructure on that decision, and as soon as I do have further information from both departments and am able to work towards a decision and have one and have further information for the House, I'd be happy to share it.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So the cost of the slips are $632.52 for each season. This includes taxes. And unfortunately, I cannot provide the Member with kind of the break-even point on that one at this point but would be happy to follow up with the Member further in writing. Thank you.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So currently the park does not have a designated park contractor residence which, in some cases, does not provide staff to always be on site during evening hours. So to accommodate public safety, ITI has designated one campsite where the contractors set up their camper to make sure staff are able to be on site at all times however in this case the new gatehouse residence will be able to accommodate staff, would enhance visitor safety in the park, and provide a space where park staff are present at all times in the park, which is how we operate in some of our...

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

Mr. Chair, to my left I have Pamela Strand, deputy minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. And to my right I have Nina Salvador, who is the director of corporate services. And I know I got that title wrong, I'm going to say. Director of knowing everything.

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

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, unfortunately, and I think that we've -- it's no secret that a lot of times the capital dollars that we invest in capital investments often are vandalized and we end up in a very frustrating situation where we are trying to stretch our dollars as far as possible in order to serve residents of the Northwest Territories and we end up with things being vandalized and destroyed. And so this here is in response to arson, vandalism, theft, and trespassing occurrences that have resulted in infrastructure damage that has exceeded tens of thousands of...

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that's not information that I have readily at my fingertips. But if we can't pull it up before the Member's last question, I'd be happy to provide that information at a later date.
