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)

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)

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. 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)

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.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize two Pages here, Kyra Sanguez, who I have actually had the opportunity to coach this year, as well as Ava Erasmus, whose mother and father are really good friends, and grandparents I know really well. As well, I would like to recognize Debra Richards, who is my CA, who is also chaperoning our Pages from Simpson, and it's her birthday today, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I would have to give credit where credit is due here. The department is working with industry. I know this is Segment 21 that they are trying to fix and trying to get it done in a timely, cost-effective manner. I would like to thank the department and the government for working with the private industry and the community to expand those two hours. With these two hours, does this mean it is just strictly for the private industry, or is this actually opening for the general public, as well?

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that commitment to get that clarified. The other one is Charles Tetcho School, the addition here I did speak to when we had the briefing this morning. I noticed that it's an $891,000 carry-over. Is that information available, or is that something that we can get later on? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 11, we see an increase of $344,000 for the Fort Liard Ferry. Could the Minister explain how this increase came about? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In there, on the line, it talks about junior kindergarten upgrades, various, at about $177,000. Looking through the notes, Fort Liard School, there was a carry-over. Could the Minister explain what the carry-over was? It talked about the washroom being done, but there seems to be this huge amount of carry-over presently. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
