Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

I have got nothing further. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My next question is further on down the list at $1.2 million there, you have the Colville Lake portables in brackets of three. Is there two or three of these portables? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for providing some of the information in her previous statement which answers my question about the Colville Lake school. And I was looking at the original tendered price and now some more money going towards that, and it's going towards the site preparations, is my understanding. So that explains over and above why the additional funds are being requested. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Moving on to my last question, the ultimate solution for all this, as we previously mentioned and we all agree, is our all-season road. But in the meantime, we got to stay alive.

My last question here, can the Minister implement a fuel subsidy to mitigate the high costs of diesel and jet fuel in the Sahtu communities? Mahsi.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that information. My next question, can the Minister commit her department to organize an airlift at pay-for-service-fee to the Sahtu for 2024 season? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The community of Fort Good Hope is proud to celebrate two graduates from the Chief T’Selehye School this year. We'd like to congratulate Jermaine Tobac and Dyer Gardebois on their achievement. The whole community wants to celebrate in their success and wish them the best in their education journey as they take their next steps. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thanks for the response to that there, deputy minister. And my other question is that I participated in a virtual led by the Sahtu Renewable Resources Board on the many sumps that -- waste sumps that are out there on the land in the Sahtu. So they're doing an inventory similar to what they did in the Beaufort Delta, and it'll help diversify our economy by creating this clean-up. So I would suggest the department, if they want to reach out to the Sahtu Renewable Resource Board in Tulita, to see how they can help. If you got a big sump that's out there that's left prior...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I'm looking at all these different programs within this activity and listening to the Minister making compliments of diversification and supports. It's all good. And I look forward to -- and my presentation's more of a comment, Mr. Chair.

The Minister had mentioned that we had wildfire relief. Now we got to design low water relief. So I look forward to, as for our statement -- or my statement here to the Minister, how to design from this package of programs to design a low water relief for the Sahtu businesses? I'm constantly getting texts already on complimenting what...

My list was telling me two the last time I was in Edmonton. So you might want to double check on that there, please. And thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just provide some comments or some advice here. The proposed school location, not the portables, the proposed school location is -- I'm going to take a guess -- probably 40 yards away from the health centre. And the health centre is sitting on foundation, a piling foundation, and that's being proposed for the new school. And I'm told that the engineers are possibly using that to cancel that particular site. So if you say, well, your if neighbour's on piles, why shouldn't this project be on piles? So it would be a good follow-up question there as we move ahead for the site...
