Déclarations dans les débats

Question 486-20(1): Federal Engagement on Defence Spending in Northwest Territories
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Premier's office, obviously the executive. And the Premier's away; I'll ask the Deputy Premier.

I'm not sure, Mr. Speaker, what level we are involved with Op Nanook as a government, but I'd like to ask the Deputy Premier if she can provide some information around the details with our ongoing engagement with Ottawa around the military spending in the High Arctic. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Committee Motion 73-20(1): Tabled Document 275-20(1): 2025-2026 Main Estimates – Deferral of Department of Finance, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that this committee defer further consideration of the 2025-2026 Main Estimates for the Department of Finance at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm not sure if the Minister's willing to do any commitments here today, but certainly I think it would be a good idea to have an investment committee made up of either Members of obviously the AOC and Members of executive to oversee the function of the fund manager to look at things like rebalancing the fund and how we want to invest that funding. So certainly something I would suggest, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Thank you. Who manages the fund currently, Mr. Chair?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Question 486-20(1): Federal Engagement on Defence Spending in Northwest Territories
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

It's going to be a long day, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Does the Premier's office have dedicated staff that engage and prioritize Arctic security within the Department of the Executive? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 476-20(1): Military Operation Nanook in Inuvik
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to speak today about a large military operation happening in Inuvik in the Beaufort Delta. Of course, Mr. Speaker, I'm talking about Operation Nanook. From February 4th until March 20th, upwards of about 750 military personnel, including a large reserve contingent from Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick, as well as allies from the USA and Belgium, Mr. Speaker, and they're going to have air and ground exercises involving several other countries.

Mr. Speaker, this is a huge, obviously, economic benefit to the community of Inuvik, and the town...
