Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My problem is that, if we have a plan, we look at it at the year-end. We wait until the next year. That is a problem. To me, we need to do it at least biannually so that we know that we are on the right track and that they are fulfilling what they said they are going to do. We are reinvesting, and we are talking about a surplus. We are trying to make sure that this money is reinvested back into housing and making sure it is done properly. Will the Minister get the department to look at that and come back to committee to tell us if it is a feasible option? Thank you, Mr...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try to be brief on this one here. In regard to the cabin leases, I know that we have reached out to the Indigenous groups to get them to work with the department. Can the Minister advise us how the work is going in that area? Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hope that is in this area.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With this reinvestment plan, is it looked at yearly or is it just quarterly? Do you have a mechanism? You have developed a plan, but have you developed a process so that you can ensure that they are following that plan? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 314, we see an increase of five positions. Could the Minister explain what the increase of those five positions is? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Previously, when we were talking to the corporation, we were asking: were they developing a performance evaluation framework for LHOs? My understanding is it was happening, so that is what I am trying to find out. What is the status of that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you. That's 162 this year, or 162 since 2017-2018 to this moment in time? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you. I appreciate the clarification. Can the Minister advise us how many market units and HELP units are presently part of your inventory? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you. So, when we were going through Aurora College about housing, has the corporation looked at any ongoing foundational review about that? Have you been looking at that?

Question 656-18(3): Truth and Reconciliation Counselling for Government of the Northwest Territories Employees
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I greatly appreciate the Minister's answers. I have one last question here, however. I am currently dealing with a number of situations where constituents have been advised that they still need to take sick leave to attend these appointments, including one day. I have been advised that employees approved access to federal residential school survivor programs and counselling services in Yellowknife, they may seek approval for sick leave, provided the person has a medical note. This seems to be contrary to what I am understanding the process to be. Will the Minister...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 66)

Thank you. Can the Minister make a commitment to committee that they will provide an update once they find out what's going on so committee is aware? Thank you.
