Question 1555-19(2): RCMP’s Responsibility in Missing People Cases
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The RCMP don't share those kinds of details about investigations, with myself even. So what I can do is I can try I will reach out again and see what type of information is out there. I will say that it's my understanding that the RCMP are in contact with the family and when there is anything to update to the family with, they do that. But I can get back to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you. So that would be a question for the Minister of health. I don't have an answer. But I don't believe that is the case. And I don't believe that, you know receipts are submitted and then the GNWT reimburses, I don't believe that's the practice. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, I had the honour today of inducting a number of people and an organization into the Education Hall of Fame, and we have a number of individuals today who were part of that ceremony. So I'd like to begin by recognizing Kelsey Wrightson who is with the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning. Dechinta was inducted in the category of postsecondary education, and they received the Minister's choice award.

Charlene Liske from N'dilo. She was inducted in the community outreach category.

Lima Baroryee She was inducted in...

Minister’s Statement 369-19(2): Junior Kindergarten – Grade 12 Updates
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Mr. Speaker, as we prepare to wrap up another school year, I want to highlight a number of exciting initiatives that reflect our government's commitment to improve student outcomes in the Northwest Territories. This semester, three high schools in the territory piloted the new Northern Studies 30 curriculum. This madeintheNWT high school course is the first in the territory to follow British Columbia’s curricular framework. Topics range from oral history and traditions to historical land use, colonization, language reclamation, NWT treaties and land claim agreements, consensus government, and...

Question 1560-19(2): Health Conditions of Rental Properties
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been informed by the department of health that environmental health officers do follow up on landlordtenant complaints, and they do track these requests. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you. Not at this time. Thank you.

Question 1560-19(2): Health Conditions of Rental Properties
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 159)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If there were 700 applications made to the rental officer and only three resulted in orders then yes, there would be a problem. However, I'm not sure all 700 of those individuals submitted applications to the rental office so it's hard for me to say. If there were three applications submitted and they all received orders, well then it seems to be working well. So with just that information, I can't really answer the Member's questions.

However, if there are these issues in your, you know, rental unit, please contact the rental officer. This is what they do. If you have...
