Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that. I am just trying to make sure I can get this information to the council, so I greatly appreciate the Minister getting that information. As soon as we get it, or even if the Minister or the department can get back to the community, that would be great. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This motion proposes a relatively small change in wording that was identified by committee immediately before the clausebyclause review. As there was not time to draft and translate the motion without delaying the clausebyclause review, the committee and the Minister agreed that it would be acceptable to move this motion in the House.

It appears that there was some misunderstanding about who would be moving the motion during the Committee of the Whole review, and it was not moved as a result. However, the committee feels that the clarity provided by this motion is...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions will be to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment today. In my Member's statement, you heard me talk about the community in Sambaa K'e, about their school expansion and the issue about the gym. My first question to the Minister: the architects in the department made a commitment to come back and give them alternative options there. Has the department provided these options to the community? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I guess I should have taken my glasses off so I could look at the fine print there. In regard to this health station replacement, why was there a carry-over? Is that because of the winter road? Because, when I went in there recently, they were all going crazy, they were building up, and it was going up pretty quick. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Minister for that clarification. The information is going to get out there, and they are going to be asking the question. Again, I thank the department and the Minister for providing the information on this. No further questions.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to waive Rule 100(4) and to have the Committee Report 7-18(3): Report on the Review of Bill 6: Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act be received by the Assembly and moved into Committee of the Whole for consideration later today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

I thank the Minister for that answer. I apologize because I didn't hear the May 31st, but the Minister has been very helpful to tell me it is May 31st. I greatly appreciate that. The community of Fort Simpson really appreciates this. Hopefully, we won't have to ask any more questions on it, and the Minister won't have to answer any more questions from me on this project. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Will the department or the Minister make a commitment to actually share that information to the community and the Chamber of Commerce after it is all said and done? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank all of the Members who are reading the report at this moment.

The Standing Committees on Government Operations and Social Development recommend that the Government of the Northwest Territories form an inter-agency working group to address cannabis-related enforcement planning.

Enforcement responsibilities were a recurring topic of discussion during our tour. Members of the public, representatives of community governments, and enforcement officials themselves raised questions and concerns. An inter-agency working group, potentially including GNWT...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I think this probably might be similar to the school and playground. The regional lab in Fort Simpson, it has been ongoing for a long period of time, and some challenges have happened throughout the thing there. I guess the question is: with this carry-over, when will this project be completed? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
