Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Madam Chair. We are presently working with OROGO and ENR and Lands on this. We have already started the process to streamline or try to make sure we do it properly. We are also, I think, maybe, can say that the project assessment function, we're also working on that as well presently. I think that was your previous question, so I was able to clarify that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Madam Chair. At this point in time, I will ask my deputy minister to answer that question. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

I'm going to start, and then I'm going to turn to my assistant deputy minister. First and foremost, each equity lease has some different flavour to it, so that needs to be addressed. Again, it could be that we turn it over for $1, or we sell it for a value, what the appraised value is. As for compliance, if we turn over a piece of property that's not compliant and we have problems in the future, the GNWT is liable. I understand why the Member is looking at it, but we want to make sure we do it right, and that's the most important part of it, making sure that people are compliant, and working...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you. I think I am going to get my assistant deputy minister to elaborate further on this because I guess I am not getting the message clearly out there. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you. For Lands, what we hold right now is $89,573,416.47 for the Department of Lands. ENR's total is $559,541,005. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Member is correct. We are also working on it, but we are also working through our business plans and that process there. Right now, we realize it is going to be finished, and then we're all working on another one, but our business plans are moving forward first. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you. I would love to say yes, but some of the leases actually extend beyond this Assembly. What we're trying to do is work with the clients and trying to be as proactive as we can to get this equity lease issue dealt with. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Madam Chair. It is a legal agreement. It is a document signed by people, so it is a legal document. If it is a rights-based cabin, we are asking people to identify that. If it is part of the process that they are working on with EIA, that is something that their leadership needs to work on with them. With Lands, we have a legal agreement with our residents of the Northwest Territories, and we need to follow this agreement. Thank you, Madam Chair.
