Question 78-18(3): Marine Training Institute

Question 78-18(3): Marine Training Institute
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 7)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On February 2nd Transport Canada announced that the Nunavut Fisheries and Marine Training Consortium will establish a marine training facility in Hay River through partnership with the GNWT. Apparently, this is part of a three-year $12.6 million federal investment under the Oceans Protection Plan. Mr. Speaker, I usually know what's happening in my backyard, but I haven't received any communication about this initiative. It's news to me. I just learned about it when the Minister of Infrastructure responded to questions about MTS earlier this week. I don't know where this...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 7)

Thank you. There is a motion to report progress. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.
