Déclarations dans les débats

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 65)

Sorry. Hopefully this is the section, human resources. I have heard people concerned about affirmative action and it not being implemented properly. Does the department encourage or work with other departments to set up succession planning so that Indigenous people are able to move forward into a position of management? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

The commitment was to do the research, not do the job? Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Previously, I've asked the Minister about setting up a recycling depot or terminal or whatever you want to call it, distribution centre, for the region. Can the Minister advise if there have been any further conversations about setting up a distribution centre; not a depot but a distribution centre? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the budget, we talked about a feasibility study for northern sustainability and community resilience, $150,000 under it as an initiative. In the business plan, on page 60, it says that it has been fulfilled. Can the Minister explain how this happened, or if this has been fulfilled or not? It is $150,000 in the budget.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am not worried. I greatly appreciate the Minister providing this information because, again, when we have news coming out and saying things and we have these researchers, that is why I was asking the question. Is our staff working with the Aboriginal population, using traditional knowledge? At the end of the day, that is where we do things. I just wanted to make sure that we were following that practice. I greatly appreciate that. Again, elders are very wise. The reason why they are there is they have lived a long time and they know a lot of stuff. I know, in my riding...

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.
