Question 939-19(2): Addictions Counsellors
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 97)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This for the Department of Health and Social Services. So what is the department doing to recruit more Indigenous counsellors? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Okay, thank you. Thank you. I know this will take a political will. As a result of the restriction that is in place, when you look at it, it just seems like, okay, Tlicho people are allowed to go hunting once a year because of the restriction. At the same time, I know there's lot of us, you know, we do respect the work that was done by the Indigenous government and by the knowledgekeeper and the boards regarding the conservation as noted. We do respect that. But the current mobile that is in place right now, it's almost the size of the 39,000 square kilometres. That's the size of Tlicho land...

Written Question 35-19(2): NWT Health Status Chartbook
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. This is regarding the NWT Health Status Chartbook.

Madam Speaker, in the fall of 2019, the government released the NWT Health Status Chartbook to provide a broad overview of the health status of the Northwest Territories population. As I noted in my Member's statement yesterday, the broad overview painted was not good. It has now been more than two years since the report was published. Can the Minister explain what steps have been taken to specifically address the poor health behaviours revealed in the report?

So this is to the Minister of Health and Social Services...

Question 928-19(2): Housing in Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Mahsi. Would the government commit to an ombudsman for the Housing Corporation so people's concern can be reviewed and reported on an independent third party?

Question 928-19(2): Housing in Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Okay, Madam Speaker [Translation] Madam Speaker, this issue I am going to talk about is regarding the people of the Northwest Territories. It is them who wrote this statement. They don't have a lot of job and they don't make very much money. And beyond that, and the people from Housing Corporation, they still have these people's information, they have policies in place and it depends on your income whether you fall into the certain brackets. And they are not able to help them. They have policies like this in place and it's preventing people from being helped which is not...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Yeah, I think today we were talking about that too, about the seizure. Yes, well, if the Minister doesn't want to be known as the Minister who got rid of all the Bathurst or known of getting rid of certain species, then I think he should change or do a Cabinet shuffle, because that's not what the answer that we wanted to hear and because you some people are saying that that is not true. It's not true that why did they did the boundary so big. They're not telling people the truth. And for the record, what I would like the Minister do is that can he repeat who was the zone developed by...

Tabled Document 573-19(2): Mind and Spirit: Promoting Mental Health and Addictions Recovery in the Northwest Territories – Child and Youth Mental Wellness Action Plan 2017-2022
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Madam Speaker, I wish to table a collection of photos of a home in Whati. Thank you.

Question 928-19(2): Housing in Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Mahsi, thank you, I'm looking forward to the meeting. So when is the Housing Corporation policy review going to be completed? Will the MLA and communities have a chance to comment on them? Thank you.

Question 928-19(2): Housing in Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Mahsi. [Translation] I am happy I would say. My second questions would be [Translation ends] assets to ensure it is fair for both party.

Member’s Statement 939-19(2): Housing
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 96)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Later today, I will be tabling photos of the home of a constituent from Whati.

The Housing Corporation is asking this constituent to sign a refinance agreement for $140,000. Madam Speaker, the photos I will table later today show that this House has a lot of problems. Madam Speaker, they are using assessed value, not actual value, to determine how much the house and property is worth, which is another way of saying Housing Corporation decides on its own how much the house is worth. Most places in Canada, the price of houses are determined by market value. Quote, "The...
