Debates of , 16th Assembly, 5th Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s nice to be able to provide a couple of comments regarding the Minister’s opening remarks, and quite namely, a few things inside his opening remarks did cause some interest and I would like to hear perhaps a little more detail.

In one of the paragraphs, the Minister mentioned about the transboundary water agreement with neighbouring jurisdictions. One of the challenges is we have become keenly aware, of course, as being downriver, we see the effects of the other jurisdictions. Although it has been some time since I sat on the committee that would oversee this...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of this motion. I realize that it is a very passionate particular issue in the community of Aklavik. Mr. Speaker, one of the issues that has been drawn out of this particular case that removing them from the community doesn’t take into consideration is the social impact the community will have as well as those people in care, the detriment offer to them losing their close ties to their community that many of them were born in, had lived their whole lives.

What is the Premier doing to ensure that the training gets back up and running and we can see some actual results in our territorial programming?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I just couldn’t let it go by. It’s not that I think the Housing Corp does nothing; it’s not that assumption at all. I’m just trying to buy into what’s the motivator here to ensure people are using power reasonably.
