Députée de Great Slave

Kate Reid a été élue députée de la circonscription de Great Slave à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest.

Mme Reid est née à Oshawa (Ontario) en 1981 et habite Yellowknife depuis 1989. Elle est titulaire d’un baccalauréat en journalisme de l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto (2003) et d’une maîtrise en sciences de l’information de l’Université de Toronto (2009).

À la fin de sa maîtrise, elle a rejoint les Archives des TNO, où elle a travaillé près de dix ans. C’est là qu’a germé sa passion pour la préservation et le partage des histoires qui peignent le portrait de notre territoire et de son gouvernement. En 2018, Mme Reid a pris un poste au ministère de l’Environnement et des Ressources naturelles et, dans le cadre de ses fonctions, elle s’est concentrée sur les questions de conservation et de développement durable dans les domaines législatif et politique, et ce, jusqu’à son élection comme députée.

Mme Reid a été présidente de la YWCA des TNO de 2021 à 2023 et de la section locale 40 du Syndicat des travailleurs du Nord en 2019 et de 2021 à 2023. Son leadership s’étend au domaine culturel, Kate Reid ayant été directrice de Folk on the Rocks, le festival de musique bien-aimé de Yellowknife, qui existe depuis longtemps. En outre, elle a contribué à des événements communautaires tels que NWT Pride, Yellowknife Pride et l’ancien spectacle d’art, Burn on the Bay.

En dehors de sa vie professionnelle, Kate Reid est mariée et trouve réconfort et inspiration dans toute une gamme de passe-temps; elle affectionne particulièrement la musique, l’art, le burlesque, le drag, le cinéma, l’haltérophilie et les voyages.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Yeah, no, thank you, Mr. Chair. And that's fair if the Minister doesn't have that amount of detail with us right now. I'm just curious if it's a one-time cost but there's going to be a consistent need, is there any sort of planning going on to address that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think what we can all agree on is that the current Public Service Act is a mess. What we do not agree on is the road to fix it.

Nurses have described longstanding internal union governance issues. I believe those concerns to be real. They deserve a solution and to be supported as they find that solution for themselves and, crucially, they need to drive that change. They need to organize.

I believe that the Member for Yellowknife North saw this problem and wants to try her level best to address it; however, what truly needs to happen is something she is restricted from...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's good news. But is that the case for all of the providers, was it missing information? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Minister for that. Will she be speaking to her federal counterpart about the need for newcomer services specifically, not just permanent residents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as Members are aware, the business community and newcomer community in Yellowknife are very anxious about expiring work permits. Can the Minister please share what provisions she is seeking from the new federal government on drastically reduced allotment of spaces in the NWT nominee program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you for the Minister for that. And I would say that continuing that sort of angle on this conversation that this is an excellent example of how climate change is really starting to impact our infrastructure costs beyond, say, permafrost thawing, slumping, all the rest of that.

So I was wondering if the Minister and her staff are sort of collecting that data writ large on infrastructure projects, in particular, that are facing these overages due to climate change impacts. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister tell me how many times in -- maybe not the history of the House but in, say, the history of the last Assembly, including this one -- or the last two Assemblies, including this one, have we gone to supps for funding the, I assume, partially dredging but also the Hay River harbour restoration as a whole. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I apologize if I wasn't forming my questions as a question earlier. I'll try and be a little more explicit.

Can the Minister, please, explain whether or not the GNWT is seeing positive outcomes from these investments as they -- as this one is a one-time and therefore would -- if they are, would there be consideration for longer term arrangements? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Member -- or pardon me, the Minister outline specifically for the $1.8 million how many beds that addresses, that funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 58)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025, I will move the following motion:

Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that this Legislative Assembly direct the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges to consider if the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Member's Code of Conduct requires any amendments or updates regarding statements made online by Members of the Legislative Assembly outside of our proceedings;

And further, that the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges deliver a report to this...
