Déclarations dans les débats

Question 469-18(3): GNWT Response to the Aurora College Foundational Review Report
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 45)

I appreciate the Minister giving us that answer, and I am looking forward to the end of the calendar year so as we can move forward. I guess we wait a little bit longer. A little bit of time shouldn't hurt us. So the next question I have for the Minister is: what's happening to the advisory committee? When will that voice, the voice of the Northwest Territories, be brought back?

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I mean, I appreciate the department is looking at that. If it is minor, that would be great. If it is major, I know that there are certain sections that the department is working on, and I have to give credit to both sides, the Providence side and the Simpson side, for the work they are doing on it. I have given the Minister a hard time about the potholes, so I appreciate the work they are doing on that.

When we talked about Highway No. 1 reconstruction, does the department have a plan that shows which section the work is going to be done on, and is it...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When they say "redesign and renovations," is the school classroom actually going to be renovated, or are they looking at adding an additional space to this facility? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going on to another topic here because I'm still a little concerned right now. Could he explain about the probation office tenant improvements for the community of Fort Liard?

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that. That will be all of my questions. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister and Mr. Goldney for that answer.

The Guthrie model was minimum of four months, that you have to be in the program for four months. Minimum security, how is that going to work? Usually it's less than three months. Can the Minister advise how those individuals are going to be part of it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that clarification. I would like to thank the department for taking this initiative and seeing if it works. As the Minister is aware, we have talked about a number of options for having a place where we put the bodies. We were talking about arenas and garages and that, so I think this is a very positive step. I thank the department for looking into this.

My next question is: the communication system for the retrofit for the health centre there, could the Minister please elaborate a little further on this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you. If it changes to medium security, what happens to the minimum-security residents? 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. I greatly appreciate the Minister's answer and informing us as we move forward.

During the process, we talked about the positions, that you have to be in Fort Smith and doing a training in there. Is this the process for doing the training, or has the department come up with a newer way of doing it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister is correct, and it's great that the staff are excited about it, but has he talked to the community of the town of Hay River? Those are the people that are going to see it go from minimum security, to medium, to maximum security inmates in this community now. So has the Minister, as part of the plan that has been worked out, has he talked to the community about this? Because this is a large chunk of money that we're investing in this community, and if there are some concerns and we're not actually doing a Guthrie House model, I'm concerned that we're not...
