Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 45)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I greatly appreciate that the department has gone and reached out to the community, is consulting with them, and going back there. I think it is a very positive step moving forward. Can the Minister advise when this project is going to be done? This fiscal year coming up, or is it just through the design process? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member's Statement on Resource Royalties Reporting
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 45)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Madeline Nelner passed away on October 4, 2018. She was an amazing person. She was 91-year-old community member of Liidlii Kue, who was a pillar of wisdom and common sense.

Madeline was born at the confluence of the Willow and Mackenzie Rivers on April 19, 1927, to Paul and Marguerite Jose. Madeline has a twin sister, Celine Villeneuve, and a younger sister, Diane Edwards, still alive. She was predeceased by her parents, four sisters, two brothers, and a son.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 45)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have just got three more questions, I think.

In regard to Mount Gaudet Access Road, it is great to see this is on there. Can the Minister advise us what is exactly happening this fiscal year in regard to that? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

I guess the next question is because this is going away from the Guthrie House model. We were talking about dealing with addictions and treatment and that, now we're talking about putting maximum security or going higher than minimum security into this community. So has the department actually reached out to the community and said this is what's going to be happening? Because this is not really a Guthrie model concept. The Guthrie model concept is to segregate the prisoners so they're on their addiction treatment area. I understand we're talking about family violence and working with that, but...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you. I appreciate that answer from the Minister. In regards to Sambaa K'e, we have known there are a number of units that are vacated, boarded up, or not being utilized, and the community has been looking at trying to access those facilities. What is the corporation's plan for those facilities? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 454-18(3): Status of Vacant Land Specialist Positions
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's been about six months since the new fiscal year and the budget has been passed. I would like to ask the Minister of Lands some questions about the status of the equity lease issues. Can the Minister advise if the positions have been filled and the location of where the staff is? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am going to go back a little further in regard to utilizing this facility better or using it to its maximum capacity or increasing the capacity of this facility and that. Can the Minister tell us: the present facility, what is the occupancy? Is it shorter, or are there more numbers to it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you. I appreciate the answer from the Minister. Mr. Chair, can the Minister advise, when they are doing these major retrofits and that, how does that impact the clients or the people using these facilities? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you. I appreciate the clarification from the Minister. Can the Minister advise when these projects are going to be done? Is it going to be during the school year, or is it going to be focused this summer? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 68, it talks about the LHO office and warehouse in Fort Liard. Can the Minister elaborate on that? Thank you.
