Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Okay, thank you. This Public Utility Board, because it's NTPC or energy regulators, I thought, you know, how come it's not under infrastructure or, you know, ECC because it deals with that's more within their department, so how come it's under EIA? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

It's not that bad. It's mostly for small communities and regional centres, that we have lots of people living in the regional centres as well that are affected.

So, Mr. Speaker, on Friday the 20242025 Budget was tabled with a $2.2 billion operating budget. The Minister states: This is a practical and realistic budget aimed at reducing our overall expenditures in 20242025 to help restore balance and increase our fiscal capacity to deal with unexpected events.

The Minister also states this budget is about value and efficiency.

Mr. Speaker, I understand we are in a time of fiscal restraint. We need...

Committee Motion 5-20(1): Tabled Document 93-20(1): Main Estimates 2024-2025, Deferral of Department – Executive and Indigenous Affairs, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Here, gun and gang strategies, okay, 20222023, there's nothing allocated for this fiscal year. It's not in the budget. So I just want to ask the Minister why it's not because we know we have a lot of issues in small communities, and then I'm sure there's a lot of community, you know, Indigenous government and other organizations, they use this money for you know, to help and work with the young people. So it's more of awareness and education program, part of healing. So I just wanted to know why it's not part of this budget this fiscal year.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Yeah, that's what that's what yeah, I agree with you. It's like a commitment. There, so that's good to know. I like that, so. But no, because it's good, you know, because I feel when you look at all the GNWT departments, there's lots of duplications, you know, lots of it's just that it's there's a lot of duplication within government services and I think this is a good way of reducing some because, you know, like there's like, we just talked about the utility boards. There's ECC and Infrastructure and maybe ITI. And so there is overlapping of lots of services so I think this will help to...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

In your business plan on page 88, it says here integrated service delivery and it says here the description of work. But I just wanted to ask that in the business plan, page 89 or 88, can the Minister explain what this integrated service delivery model is?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

We're still on the community we're still on Cabinet support, because I'm looking at community allocation on page 129. So there's the headquarters. There's ten. But the active position here for the it's different, that's what I'm referring to.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Okay. Since we're still on this well, no regional allocations, Cabinet support, so community allocation, so headquarter regional offices. Where are these regional offices? Because it says six, is that in like, I know there's nothing in Tlicho because we're still part of the North Slave. So there's a South Slave. There's Dehcho. Sahtu. Are these jobs allocated in these regions?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

And for compensation and benefits, okay, so that's a number of staff, that's the staff that we have here. Like, 89 in headquarters. So that represents that number, the budget? North Slave is four I mean, I'm just trying those are the one below is GSO.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Thank you. I know that, you know, there's not a major huge cuts across EIA but within the Cabinet's support, can the Minister explain or briefly explain what this Public Utility Board is because I think well, the budget stayed the same for last fiscal year, and actually, it went down a bit. So you explain what this Public Utility Board is? Thank you.
