Oral Question 1120-19(2): Funding for Small Communities
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 115)

Thank you. Another example is in 2020 in 2020 and 2021 school that did not align their calendars saw some of their NDL students missing up to 25 percent of NDL class periods for some courses during the academic year.

What has been the progress in working with educators, administrators, and district education authorities in aligning the calendars of schools offering northern business learning programming? Thank you.

Oral Question 1120-19(2): Funding for Small Communities

Committee Report 27-19(2): Special Committee on Reconciliation Indigenous Affairs Interim Report: What We Heard About the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Negotiating Agreements
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 114)

There was one more thing that I wanted to mention is that what I would like for the GNWT to do is to recognize and respect the Indigenous agreement that's already in place, that's already settled. So that's what I would like for the GNWT to do, because right now the process is too slow. You know, like and there's a lot of fighting right now. I know that there's a lot of disagreement between two parties. So what I would like for the GNWT to do is to recognize and respect the settled agreement that is in place and work with the people, work with the leaders, Indigenous government leaders. Thank...

Well, will the Minister at least do this: Will the Minister commit to working with the community of Gameti and Tlicho government to develop a working group to begin the process of allweather road? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 114)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize two of the pages from Monfwi riding. From the community of Wekweeti grade 10 students, Nate Simpson and Alexis KotchileaJudas, along with their chaperone Melvin Tom from Wekweeti. So I would like to say welcome and to recognize them. Thank you.

Committee Report 27-19(2): Special Committee on Reconciliation Indigenous Affairs Interim Report: What We Heard About the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Negotiating Agreements
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 114)

Yes. Thank you. Thank you for the report. I want to mention about the consultation and relationship because it's emphasized in this report. When we say "consultation", it goes two ways, you know. Because, okay, you go to people, you work with them, you listen to them. Then I note that we are going to make progress. But if we don't do any of those things, then we're still going to be like we still have three outstanding land claims. And when I said that, you know, when you go to them, you work with them, you talk to them, you listen to them, you know, like, we have to build a trust and a...

Member’s Statement 1107-19(2): All-Season Road to Gameti
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 114)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am doing my Member's statement today on inflation and infrastructure.

Mr. Speaker, on May 18th, 2022, the bureau of statistics released data on the consumer price index. This tracks changes to the average price of goods and services in the Northwest Territories. In other words, inflation.

That report has shown that since this time last year inflation has risen 7 percent. Mr. Speaker, my constituents see much more than that. Seven percent reflected in the prices they pay for food, fuel, electricity, clothing, and other everyday items. The past two years have been hard...
