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 150)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment.

Mr. Speaker, the 19th Legislative Assembly cannot afford to leave residents of the Northwest Territories without meaningful change to procurement benefit retention and transparency in this territory, especially after all the focus and conversation we've had about that in the life of this Assembly. So I'm wondering does ITI intend to table a fulsome response to the procurement review panel's 50 recommendations that the public can see where ITI stands on each of those...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 150)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if the Minister can just provide some information as to what Safe LongTerm Care Fund is and what it's used for. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 150)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Great Slave, that Committee Report 5019(2), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Strengthening Community Supports, Lifting Youth Voices: Recommendations on Suicide Prevention, be received by the Assembly and referred to Committee of the Whole. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 150)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your Standing Committee on Social Development is pleased to provide its report Strengthening Community Supports, Lifting Youth Voices: Recommendations on Suicide Prevention, and commends it to the House.

Thank you to the youth who shared courageously on suicide prevention with the Standing Committee on Social Development. We heard you. We respect you. We believe in you. From you, we learn and take your lead. We hope you see your thoughts, ideas, and perspectives, and the resources and supports you asked for, reflected in the following report and its recommendations.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 149)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, you know, something like interoperability framework is not likely something that we're going to see show up in the priorities of the 20th Assembly as a line item so to say, and so I'm wondering what suggestions the Department of Finance would have to the next Assembly coming in to be able to push this item to be able to actually deliver results across the government? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 149)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the motion brought forward by my colleague from Great Slave, and I also appreciate the work that was put into the jurisdictional scan so that we know what the rest of Canada looks like. Canadian jurisdictions are quite obviously split as far as rent increase caps are concerned, but our sister territory to the west, Yukon, does allow a buffer against the impacts of high inflation as measured by CPI but this is to a maximum of 5 percent.

Mr. Speaker, I understand a need for certainty, but this also needs to be balanced with the...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 149)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Great Slave, that Committee Report 4819(2), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Bill 68: An Act to Amend the Child Day Care Act, be received by the Assembly and referred to the Committee of the Whole. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Your Standing Committee on Social Development is pleased to provide its Report on Bill 68: An Act to Amend the Child Day Care Act and commends it to the House.

Bill 68: An Act to Amend the Child Day Care Act, sponsored by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment was referred to the Standing Committee on Social Development for review on November 3, 2022.

Committee thanks everyone who came forward in person and in written submissions for their time and candid comments. Committee appreciated the favourable response to a number of the motions and the...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 149)

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm good with that. And I think too what would kind of be helpful is to kind of is to better understand what the steps are in getting there and more from a high level. Like, I'm not asking to create a framework before you create a framework. But understanding, you know, are we is this, you know, a three, four, five, tenyear transition for the GNWT? Because my concern is from kind of the human side of it where, you know, how do we track and use and analyze data to be more strategic in our decisionmaking if all the systems that we need to be able to talk one...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 149)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a couple of questions and, I mean, the Minister and I have had conversations about this before. One of the things that I am finding increasingly frustrating lately is when I go and talk to another Minister about integrated service delivery and the barriers to being able to provide integrated service delivery to Northerners because of our systems that we use within the government. And so I'm wondering if you know, we've got $21.8 million here in expenditures for this office, and I know that they do far more than just purchase software or, rather, manage the...
