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

I thank you, and I thank the Minister for that. So when in 2019? Is it going to be done in the summertime, or is it going to be done in December? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

I would like to recognize John and Louise Moreau, who will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on June 8th. They met at the Giant Mine dance in Yellowknife while both being employed at the Giant Mine. After being married 10 months, they moved to Fort Simpson, where they still reside today. They are strong pillars of the community. They have five children; Brenda, Becky, James, Barbara, and Clayton; and eight grandchildren, Sidonie, Malorey, Victoria, Shelton, Tonya, Ethan, Laine, and Naren; and two great-grandchildren, Lillian and Greyer. They are both role models for all of us...

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that Clause 2 of Bill 5 be amended in the English version of the proposed section 1.1 by striking out "an administrative monetary penalty for the contravention of the bylaw" and substituting "an administrative monetary penalty regime applicable to contraventions of that bylaw." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to that replacement, is that Sambaa K'e here or is that Somba K'e in Yellowknife? It says "Health Stanton Replacement," but it says "Saamba K'e." Is that the City of Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Kam Lake, that the Committee Report 7-18(3): Standing Committee on Review of Bill 6: Cannabis Legalization and Regulation and Implementation Act, be received by the Assembly and moved into Committee of the Whole for consideration.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. This question was asked before. The numbers were a little bit different. Is there a rationale why it is at $344,000 instead of the number that was provided previously to the Chamber of Commerce, which was $266,000? Is there a reason for the difference in cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you. Just to clarify, that was May 31st. Correct?

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are here today for the Standing Committee on Government Operations and the Standing Committee on Social Development report on the review of Bill 6, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act.

In April 2017, the federal government introduced two bills to legalize cannabis in Canada. Bill C-45 deals with federal licensing and oversight of the cannabis supply chain, including all production and distribution, and sets regulatory standards to protect public health and safety. Bill C-46 sets out offences and procedures relating to impaired driving...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I apologize for forgetting to recognize the Chair after I finished my statement. Is the department actually tracking how many people actually access these extra hours? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just like I said, I'm trying to understand. There's a carry-over here of $891,000, so maybe I'm not understanding it properly. I understand there is a contract in place. I know they're doing the work. I've been in there, and I noticed there was a delay there. I'm trying to understand: what's left to be done with this carry-over? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
