Il a présidé le Conseil de gouvernance de la Commission de la sécurité au travail et de l’indemnisation des travailleurs, dirigé la Société d’investissement et de développement et assumé le rôle d’administrateur public du Collège Aurora.

Is there an investment policy that I don't know if it would be if that would come to Cabinet or how is there an investment policy and if there is, who sets that up?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 22)

Thank you. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my question, Minister, I apologize. No, it does say that it was to the testing of the wind potential of specific sites of interest to the GNWT. I guess is what that specific funding, that $70,000, was used for. So I guess my question was is this out of the budget, I didn't know if it was a sunset clause, if it was a grant, or if it was just we're done studying wind in Inuvik because it's expensive to build windmills up there?

Committee Motion 23-20(1): Committee Report 2-20(1) – Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Bill 2: Missing Persons Act – Government Response, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 22)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Energy poverty, I could show my heating bills for the last two years if you want to talk energy poverty. But thankfully, thankfully, IRC is taking a risk in developing some natural gas up there, so we may get some relief in the near future. That's not my question, and I'm not trying to do a Member's statement. But it popped in my head when I saw the term energy poverty. I'm like, yeah, you know, I got ten minutes.

Motion 31-20(1): Cross-Border Crime Reduction Forum, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'll be brief. You've heard me make comments in this House about the fact that these illicit drugs are destroying our communities. I support the motion. If I could support it twice, I would. And I think anybody in this House should feel the same way. Thank you.
