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

That is great to hear, that the positions are filled. Previously, when the Minister was talking about the process and they were talking about training and having the positions located in Smith and then taking the training there, now these positions are located in various locations. Has the department started developing training plans for these positions?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. He said three herds. The three herds are by Fort Providence, Fort Smith, and the Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Acknowledgement 20-18(3): Frances and Violet Nahanni – 50th Wedding Anniversary
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize Francis and Violet Nahanni, who will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today, March 6, 2019. Francis was originally from Jean Marie River and Violet was from Wrigley. They met in Fort Simpson while Violet was working at the hostel and Francis worked for the DPW. When they first dated, Francis would flash his lights at the end of the street and Violet would go out to meet him and they would go to see a movie. They are strong pillars of the community and the region. They have two children, Glen and Valerie, and seven grandchildren. They...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to go quickly to Site C again. We are having an effect with the Bennett dam. When it opens and closes, we see water levels come up and down there. With Site C have other provinces or First Nations people come to the government or the department and asked them for their help to deal with this situation? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

I'd ask the Chair to stand and report progress.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister saying that the department will reach out or is able to talk to them and that. Can the superintendent regional staff reach out to the communities and see if they are still interested in doing that? I know that, last time I talked to them, they were. Is that something the department is able to do? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that information. It helps me when constituents ask me the questions about what the process is. I know that, in the past, I have seen people give a position and give them training plans. I guess my question is: do we still do this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is good news to hear. Has the department been able to reach out to the community and try to help them get prepared for their training that they need to pass on this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just lost my thought here for a second. It is good to see that, and I understand that. When people are given the opportunity to apply for jobs and they are not successful, what is the appeal mechanism? Do they have the opportunity to appeal the process? I guess, what is the mechanism for people who appeal? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister and his department for clarifying that for me. Thank you.
