Déclarations dans les débats

Question 557-18(3): Ice Crossings
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 55)

I greatly appreciate the Minister for that answer in explaining that the community gets it going, but my understanding is that the government takes over. Can the Minister explain: does the GNWT staff, after this road has been built, does their staff look after it afterwards?

Question 549-18(3): Liidlii Kue School Library
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 54)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's answer, and I look forward to going with her to see what this OverDrive looks like, because I was thinking it was a vehicle, but I guess it is now a library term online.

Mr. Speaker, parents and community members still have concerns about re-establishing a central library in the Liidlii Kue Secondary School. Who would they bring their concerns to? Is it the local DEA, the principal, or the DEC superintendent? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 549-18(3): Liidlii Kue School Library
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 54)

I would like to thank the Minister for that answer, and I am glad we are not burning books, because I think we need to worry about our education and the history of it. Can the Minister explain how the principal decided what books were to be removed from the library?

Member's Statement on Aboriginal Sports Circle 20-Year Anniversary
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 54)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, April 1, 2019, marks the Aboriginal Sports Circle of the Northwest Territories' 20th year anniversary.

Over the years, the organization has grown tremendously and is proud of the delivery of grassroots programs in all 33 communities in the NWT, including hosting territorial championships in Arctic Sports, Dene Games, archery, along with organizing and bringing Team NT to the North American Indigenous Games, and is responsible for developing community leaders in sport, recreation, and culture.

The organization's growth can be attributed to the dedication of...

Question 549-18(3): Liidlii Kue School Library
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 54)

I thank the Minister for that answer. Can the Minister advise if there are any steps to replenish the books that have been removed from the library?

Question 549-18(3): Liidlii Kue School Library
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 54)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, recently I had some parents reach out to me in regard to the lack of library books in the Liidlii Kue Secondary School. It is my understanding that the previous principal had the majority of these books removed from the library. This is a concern. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of ECE: why would a school remove books from the library? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 539-18(3): Intergovernmental Resource Revenue Sharing Agreement Payment
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 53)

I thank the Premier for clarifying that answer. Mr. Speaker, does the government allocate funding from the retained part of this part of the money to the Arctic Energy and Emerging Technologies Conference and Tradeshow in Inuvik? If not, how does the GNWT help support this conference and trade show?

Question 539-18(3): Intergovernmental Resource Revenue Sharing Agreement Payment
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 53)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have been approached by a number of leaders to explain how the Intergovernmental Resource Revenue Sharing Agreement worked. From what I have been able to find, prior to implementation of devolution 2014, the GNWT and Aboriginal groups signed the NWT Intergovernmental Resource Revenue Sharing Agreement with 25 percent of the net profit going to Aboriginal groups according to our formula. It is my understanding that allocation is made each year of the signatories of the development devolution agreement. In that, the formula says: "Aboriginal population not...

Question 539-18(3): Intergovernmental Resource Revenue Sharing Agreement Payment
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 53)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, thanks to the Premier. This is probably a redundant question, but I'm going to ask it to the Premier anyway: does the government allocate funding from the retained part of the pot to be set to send to Aboriginal group government delegates to the Association for Mineral Exploration in Vancouver?
