Déclarations dans les débats

Question 444-18(3): Accessing Medical Services in Fort Nelson, BC
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

I thank the Minister for explaining and clarifying that because it is very important for residents to understand that not all services are going to be available, but some are, like he said, mammograms and lab services.

Can the Minister advise us when they could see potential opportunities for this service to be implemented, going to Fort Nelson?

Question 444-18(3): Accessing Medical Services in Fort Nelson, BC
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the past few sittings, I have had the opportunity to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services a number of questions about having the residents of Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte access to medical services via medical travel to Fort Nelson, BC. Can the Minister advise this House if the department has been able to make some movement on this issue? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

That will be all. I would like to thank the Minister and the witness for providing the information here today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister advise: is this part of the gas tax that they receive? When we talk O and M, that is O and M, the operation and maintenance of facilities. I am trying to better understand this. If the Minister can clarify exactly that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the Minister can just get it to P and P so the group can understand that, that would be very grateful and helpful. The Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh talked about asset management there and, I heard, you know, talked about the core. With the core, would office buildings be part of the core or is that just something else? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister for the commitment. I have no further questions. Thank you.

Question 443-18(3): Public Information on Taxation of Traditional Cabins
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Stage one, is that the only number he knows? Really, I have asked the question: how many stages are there? Stage one, yes. We know that. We are trying to find out how many stages are there. Is it 100? At the end of the day, who makes the final decision on, what is it called? Rights-based cabins. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 443-18(3): Public Information on Taxation of Traditional Cabins
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

I thank the Minister for the non-answer again. It is really discouraging, very discouraging, to see this government is downloading on the IGOs. They are saying, "Here you go. Here you go." They are not taking responsibility. We are trying to get information out there.

The Minister said it was stage one or step one. Will the Minister please explain how many stages there are through this since we get this information out there? How many stages are there? The Minister talks about a letter; it is stamped confidential, so we can't even share this information.

Can the Minister tell us how many stages...

Question 434-18(3): Education Renewal – School Funding Framework
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope that the Financial Management Board will continue to support that because I think this is a very important initiative being brought forth by the Minister. So, can the Minister advise us: will this have an impact on the support staff, like the classroom assistants and language specialists?

Question 434-18(3): Education Renewal – School Funding Framework
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

I thank the Minister for doing this. I appreciate her listening to the concerns and then working forward to help the students and the teachers, as well. So, can the Minister advise us when will the changes be implemented to ensure the physical safety and mental health for the students and teachers?
