Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Well, I see here Indigenous scholarship. I guess that must be part of  that's part of the revitalization education program. So I think maybe if the Minister can explain a bit about this Indigenous scholarship.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

I will let some people know, especially in the small communities. So hopefully from this $10.6 million, we'll get three new daycare centre in Tlicho region. I'm just, so or at least to one of the communities, you know, that really needs the child care services. But and you said so you don't know how this funding will be allocated. How is the department or allocating this one, is it based on need or for child care services?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Yeah, thank you. That's about it. So I'll just stop there. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Because the Minister mentioned North Slave, and I've been saying for quite some time that, you know, Tlicho regions. I want to know about the Tlicho region because we're not part of the North Slave. So North Slave consists of, as I've said before, Tu NedheWiilideh's riding as well, you know, so but if you have the number, it would be nice, you know. I would like to hear that number.

And I know that in small communities, due to the populations, I know many of the communities are not going to have child care centre, daycare centre. So how many licensed day home is there in small communities?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I know there are some people  some young people that I know that went to work at the mine and got their journeyman in millwrights and electricians and welding. You know, those are really greatly needed, and it would be nice to see more, like, in mechanics as well and plumbing, which we're lacking in a lot of small communities. So that is good. It's good that they're meeting with Indigenous government or Indigenous government or organizations.

The career development training, and I know it's not that much, but I just want to know what happened to this...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 21)

Yes, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just like my colleague said about the Minister of housing, that was a good response to our motion, and I'm looking forward to working with them. And then I'm looking forward to working with her, or all of us looking forward to working with her and then with Department of Finance to fix this. And can we have a recorded vote for this. Thank you.

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

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is also continuing with my questions for ECE Minister.

For income assistance clients that want to go back to school, this is what we heard from many of our constituents or from the small communities due to lack of housing, wants to go back to school and complete their education, can the Minister work with the Minister of housing to ensure that these students have their home to return to after studies? Thank you.

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