Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 103)

I just want to tell you again, Tlicho region is not part of North Slave region. So there's nothing in Tlicho region. I would like to see a position in Tlicho region because we have four communities that we are representing. So I would like to change that, you know, instead of North Slave, I would like to see one in North Slave region in Tlicho region, I mean. Sorry about that. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. Okay, when I asked about the active position, so I heard the Minister say they add more police services in the communities. Okay, police are to keep peace and order, we know that. And to make residents feel safe. But I just want to ask the Minister, I would like to know what is the Department of Justice is doing to reduce crime rate in the community because it's okay. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Yes, thank you. Career development and training, the number is really low in this one. It says 30. Well, there was nothing in 2021. I think we know why. But it's budgeted for 30. Why the number is so low when in many of the small communities because there's career development, a lot of people benefit from this position. So I'm just wondering why it's low?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Okay, yesterday I was saying about the income support and, okay, the Indigenous students, they get they're eligible for basic and supplementary. And I was saying there, I said a lot of students are saying that the funding that they get, it's not enough. So a lot of them are saying they're going they're applying for the repayable loan. And so when they do that, they are they were told that they have to pay, like the full amount. And it's not they don't like it. They would like some of them were saying that it would be nice if it was the same as the remissible loan where they can pay half...

Okay, according to, like according to the GNWT health status report, it says in there that my region has the highest crime rate, and we only have active position. Why is that, when the report when your own report GNWT report says we have the highest crime rate for Tlicho region? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Thank you, I'll be mindful of the time today. Yeah, trades and occupation wage subsidy, can you give us a breakdown of the success rates in the regions and what trades? And Tlicho is not part of North Slave, okay. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 101)

Thank you. Another one too is that there are some students that took because they use up their basic and supplementary grant, which is equivalent which is 12semesters, an equivalent to $60,000. So some went on the because of that, they're not eligible for the remissible loan. So they have to go on the repayable loan and some are saying that well, some of the students that or the people that I talked to, they're close to 60 years old and they're saying we don't have a job. Government is not going to do a write off of that loan. They would like to see that write off.

Is there any way that...
