Question 651-18(3): Equity Leases
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

That is great to hear. Since the training has started and is individualized, which is great, has the department and the staff started to work on reviewing these files?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you. I am assuming that the Nahanni Population is by Nahanni Butte and Fort Liard. Correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 651-18(3): Equity Leases
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Previously, I was asking questions to the Minister responsible for Lands about equity leases and that. They were talking about positions and stuff like that. Can the Minister please advise us: have all the positions been filled at this point in time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to this section here, bison management control and developing plans there, can the Minister advise: have they been looking at the herd around Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member's Statement on Fort Simpson Territorial Park Interpretive Storytelling Area
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to celebrate a very impressive addition to the Fort Simpson Territorial Park. In previous years at the park, Deh Cho ITI parks division heard concerns that the area around the kitchen facility did not have a gathering area where guests could meet and socialize. The manager of tourism and parks, ITI, attended to this concern by developing a vision with a community manufacturer, PR Contracting.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can get the community to reach out. I just need to know if the regional superintendent is the person who we should be reaching out to. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess maybe I should have made myself a little bit clearer. I understand the government system and how to work with that. What I am talking about is a person who is not in the government system, who has the qualifications but, say, doesn't have writing skills up to snuff but has the experience of five, 10 years in there. Does the department or does the government allow the opportunity to set up training plans? Because I know in the past we have been able to. I have seen it happen, where we found an individual and set him up to take the training position for the job. I...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that it is part of the budget process. Previously, Nahanni Butte and Jean Marie talked about setting up a small team, getting prepared. Has the department looked at reaching out to them and seeing if they are still interested in doing this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that clarification. If a person appeals, are they able to receive all of the notes that are part of the interview process? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
