Question 850-18(3): Bison in Nahendeh Communities
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I appreciate the Minister's answers. I have to give a big shout-out to his department, especially in Fort Liard and Fort Simpson. They do manage these areas here, and they're doing a great job, and they're communicating with the residents, and they're trying to address this issue locally, as well. Can the Minister advise if the department has reached out to the Department of Infrastructure to look at bordering the airports, putting fences around them, similar to what is done in Fort Providence?

Question 850-18(3): Bison in Nahendeh Communities
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

Can the Minister advise: has the department's staff reached out to the leadership in both of these communities moving forward to try to address this issue?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize a couple of people up there: the returning officer from the Nahendeh, as well as a constituent, Vanessa Waugh, as well as Nicole Latour, Chief Electoral Officer. We go way back. Welcome to the House. Thank you.

Member's Statement on Reflections on the 18th Assembly
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank the residents of the Nahendeh riding for giving me the privilege of representing them for the past four years. I am and always will be humbled for being elected to this job. It is about the people. I am representing their voice and their ideas.

To the community and regional leadership, these past four years, I enjoyed your honesty and frankness as we tried to address concerns and issues with the GNWT, federal government, or others. I would like to thank you for opening your homes, offices, and community to me as we work for the residents of Nahendeh.

Question 850-18(3): Bison in Nahendeh Communities
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

When I've been talking to the residents in both those communities, they talked about the opportunity to maybe increase the number of tags for outside the region, not just the community. Has the department looked at that potential opportunity?

Question 850-18(3): Bison in Nahendeh Communities
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 90)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my questions are for the Minister of ENR. Mr. Speaker, in the Nahendeh riding, in particular Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte, we've had some issues with the buffalo. The community has reached out and asked: what are we doing there? Can the Minister please provide us an update on what plans they have to help mitigate the problems that these animals are causing?
