Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 128)

This is to Minister of Health and Social Services. According to the Office of the Auditor General Report, the Department of Health and Social Services does not do enough to provide residents with accessible, coordinated, and culturally safe addiction services. It is not clear from the department's work plan how it intends to address this situation in a meaningful way. Will the Minister commit to working with Indigenous governments to develop a process of consultation and engagement with communities and Indigenous governments outside its Indigenous advisory board?

Well, they are the executive council and they can change the policy. It is within their they can they have the authority to change the policy. So, like, in the past, FMB rolled out $4 million for a business loan, so I know they can do it. They can change the policy. They have the that is within their authority.

But I just want to ask the Minister, will the Minister commit to transferring North Slave district office to Tlicho region that deals specifically with Tlicho? Thank you.

Question 1255-19(2): Addictions Treatment
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 128)

Well, I still have one more question for another Minister. But can the Minister can she come with me on a constituent tour in Tlicho region? Can she come with me so she can meet and talk to the Indigenous government, to the people, to the elders, to the youth, on the addiction and treatment program? Thank you.

Question 1255-19(2): Addictions Treatment
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 128)

The Minister talked about, okay, they're not renewing the contract with Poundmaker's, and there's five other options. Why only five? Shouldn't there be more if we're trying to help and work with the people? Because it is the people's choice of where they want to go, and Poundmaker's was the only one that we can think of that served the Indigenous communities. Now people don't have a choice. So I'm just wondering is the Minister consulting and working with the Indigenous government, the Indigenous people? She said there were some people at the meeting that she attended, but that's not good...

Question 1252-19(2): Addictions Treatment
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 128)

Will the Minister of Health and Social Services provide an update to explain her rationale for choosing not to restore contract relations with Poundmaker's Lodge despite the clear and immediate need for the facilitybased addiction treatment services they provide NWT residents? Thank you.
