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.

Sorry, just a sec, please, Mr. Chair.

Why don't I pull that information and provide it to the Member? I'm fairly certain that it was within the life of the 19th Assembly where it was slightly increased. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it would depend on what exactly they were asking for, the amount they're asking for, and what stream of the program they're entering into. So, for example, somebody who's a sole proprietor that would like to be able to access SEED dollars in order to kind of propel their business and see it evolve would be expected to provide quotes for what it is that they're looking for and also, you know, an indication of their own equity that they want to put into the project as well. So I would say it really depends on what it is that they are looking to do. But...

We're looking for then is the number of staff in the Inuvik regional office. The office -- it's the MPR office itself in Inuvik, and that whole division at headquarters as well? Just to clarify, please, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the significant amount of increase between the main estimates actually comes from internal budget transfers of corporate related costs, and corporate related costs are employee future benefits, which are things like severance, parental leave, sick leave, annual leave, lieu time. So that's where the most significant amount of cost has come from, and then the second most significant is TSE chargebacks.

Sorry, my apologies, Mr. Chair. I misunderstood the question from the Member. So the total funding request was $2.678 million. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that level of detail with me here today as far as who may have applied for it, but I'd be happy to pull that information for the Member and get back to him, for sure.

How many -- well, I would say that a -- everybody works together and supports one another. There's five staff specifically within the mineral resources petroleum sector. Sorry, could the Member be more specific about what exactly he's looking for. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can I pass to the deputy minister for that one, please.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, some of these are reductions due to duplications in programs within the department, and some of them are sunsets of programming as well. Some of them are also vacant positions within the department that have -- and some of them are -- there is also some fiscal sustainability in there as well. But the -- sorry, the duplications that you're finding in the department, what we are doing is trying to focus a lot of the funding through SEED and really looking at with what is it that communities are looking for, what is it that they want to do, and then...
