Déclarations dans les débats

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.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The next one is Acho Dene School home economics room, again, renovation. Could the Minister expand a little further on this? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister just advise us of what minimum, medium, or maximum involves in the Northwest Territories? Are we talking one day less two years is your maximum? Is that where you you're at? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I guess the first comment is about the glossary. When we talk about "core," could we in the future just get that put in there, in the appendix, so that we have a clear understanding of what "core" is when it comes to municipal governments? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 453-18(2): Rights-Based Cabins
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I greatly appreciate the Minister's answer in helping us understand it a little bit better. So, my last question here is: once these cabins are classified as rights-based cabins, I believe this is stage 1 or whatever stage it is in, is this the end of the process for Indigenous cabin owners? They're fearing that they're going to see their cabins be targeted for potential lease fees in the future.

Question 453-18(2): Rights-Based Cabins
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

I think I've heard that a number of times. I've asked the Minister: what do they mean by "rights-based cabins"? That's all I'm trying to ask. What's their definition, or how are they getting this information out there? I'd like to know what that means.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister making the commitment to come in, in November, and he's worked with his staff. Can the Minister please advise this House, when he goes into the community, what's going to happen? What is the department going to present, and who is going to be coming in with him?

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

The Minister has kind of answered a lot of my questions that I had here today, but that is great to hear. I am very happy to see that. That is a positive step, and I have to applaud the department and his staff for reaching out to Fort Nelson. We look forward to it.

The Minister talked about a couple of those -- mammograms and, I forget the other one, lab work, but also, with pregnancy, can the Minister explain or provide information if this opportunity is available as well?

Member's Statement on Passing of Rita Betsidea
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on October 3, 2018, Rita Betsedea passed away. She was born on September 16, 1962 at old Fort Wrigley, to Baptiste and Alice Betsedea. She was one of 12 children. Growing up, she was daddy's favourite girl. Her favourite times were when her dad came home from trapping with beaver meat full of fat. Family always remembered her little chin just dripping with fat. Her nickname was "Little Doll." She brought a lot of joy to the home. She loved the outdoors and being with her family. At nighttime, she asked her Abba to sit outside. When she was asked why, she...

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

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister’s answers for that. Can the Minister explain why, when they talk about, you know, safety and health of the community, that recreation facilities would not be one of the cores? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
