Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess, the MLAs who are affected by this decision, can the Minister make a commitment to keep us updated on this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 216-18(3): Stroke Management Services and Support
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions will be for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Since our last sitting, I have heard of individuals who had stroke symptoms and stuff like that, and there are different processes in the matter there, especially in our region, in our smaller communities. Can the Minister please explain what is the process when a person is diagnosed with stroke-like symptoms in the Nahendeh riding? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 202-18(3): Site C Dam
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

I appreciate the Minister and the answer he's provided here. My next question is: what is the government doing during this Assembly to mitigate the negative impact of this project on our Northwest Territories First Nations and communities, and has the Premier contacted in writing the Premier from BC?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. How do the justice of the peace increments occur? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 202-18(3): Site C Dam
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I was talking about the Site C Dam in BC, and I have some questions for the Premier. My first question is: what discussions, if any, has the GNWT had with the BC Government on the downstream impacts of the Site C Dam? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. The big thing is that, without the police presence, sometimes the nurses don't want to be staying there. There is a safety issue for them. Will the Minister work with the Health Minister and try to coordinate travel where the nurses can go in there at the same time, and help that out? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now, in regard to Wrigley, because they have a position that is stationed in Fort Simpson, does the department actually work with them to make sure that they get the allocations of number of visits that are supposed to be there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister then work with the department and work with the RCMP and provide us with an update -- it can be confidential -- on how many visits they go into the smaller communities, and some of the things that they do besides police work? In other words, besides the investigations and that, some of the things that they do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, and I appreciate the Minister and the department for being able to do that. Will they be able to tell us how they developed these rates, whether it was the department or the use of different mechanisms? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, and I understand you don't want to be showing the schedule, but I guess my question, though, is: does each community get "X" amount of visits per year, not including the patrols? I'm actually saying, it is scheduled to go in there. The people say overnight, they actually meet with Council, they meet with the people. Do these things happen? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
