Question 13-20(1): Requesting Prime Minister to Stop Selling Arms and Military Goods
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 3)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's disappointing to hear that from the Premier because it is a territorial issue. We do have members of the Palestinian community here in the Northwest Territories. And so, Mr. Speaker, I would ask if the Premier would be willing to meet with local members of that community to hear firsthand the impacts on NWT residents with family in Gaza. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 37-20(1): Gaza
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 3)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to offer folks a content warning of this statement which will contain graphic description of a hurt child. These kinds of firsthand accounts break the hearts of members of our NWT community every day. This is an account of a pediatrician in Gaza.

In the first few hours of my work, I treated an approximately oneyearold boy. His right arm and right leg had been blown off by a bomb and flesh was still hanging off the foot. He had a blood-stained diaper, which remained, but there was no leg below. I treated the baby while he lay on the ground. There were no stretchers...

Question 13-20(1): Requesting Prime Minister to Stop Selling Arms and Military Goods
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 3)

Really more of a comment, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, I will reach out to the Premier.

Question 13-20(1): Requesting Prime Minister to Stop Selling Arms and Military Goods
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 3)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's distressing for many that Canadian citizens are indirectly enabling the ongoing human tragedy in Gaza through the sale of arms and military goods. Will the Premier write to the Prime Minister of Canada and ask that he stop the sale of arms and military goods to Israel during this conflict? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 5-20(1): Income Assistance Program for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 2)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Minister for that. Do we have an idea of which of the programs would be implemented first? Would it be the one that was deemed complete in August? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 2)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a constituent, the chief electoral officer for Elections NWT, Mr. Stephen Dunbar. Thank you for being with us today.
