Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 16)

Further on to the directorate, we see a reduction of about $55,000. Can the Minister expand on this reduction? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This could probably be a short one here. In regards to the Oil & Gas Symposium in Calgary, I realize the Minister is not going and staff are, have they reached out to some of the Aboriginal communities and invited them to go to that conference? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am on page 211. I noticed that corporate costs from the previous budget have gone down. Can the Minister explain where these changes come from? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 156-18(3): Liquid Natural Gas Energy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 15)

I appreciate the Minister's answer. My next question: in the past 10 years, how much has the GNWT had to subsidize to address low water rates affecting hydroelectric production on top of the subsidies for power rates due to unforeseen diesel fuel increases?

Question 156-18(3): Liquid Natural Gas Energy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I was talking about the LNG proposal, and yesterday, as well, so I do have some questions for the Minister for Infrastructure. Again, it's kind of all over the place, so: can the Minister please provide the House with an update on how much the GNWT subsidizes our power rates? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 156-18(3): Liquid Natural Gas Energy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and, again, I thank the Minister for that information. My last question: when the government looks at an alternative energy source, does the government have a backup fund in place in case something goes wrong with the future energy costs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 156-18(3): Liquid Natural Gas Energy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 15)

I thank the Minister for all that information. It's great to see that we are doing stuff like that, but how does this compare to our past five years? Can the Minister please advise the House of that?

Member's Statement on Liquid Natural Gas Energy Pilot Project
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I spoke about the proposed shovelready LNG pilot project. I would like to follow up today to talk about what I see as the direct benefits of this proposal.

Mr. Speaker, by looking at this pilot project and using the NWT gas, there would be a justification of recommissioning the Cameron Hills gas field located within the Northwest Territories that has currently been shut in and is not producing. By doing this, it means more royalties and taxes on natural gas produced and processed within the NWT.

This proposal could reduce the government's...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the Minister's answer. I appreciate them looking at this, and I think that will help all the residents. In regard to the GSOs and getting close to capacity, has the department developed a plan as to when we're going to be able to fill these positions? I know the Premier talked about it being based on the fact that it's funding-related and if there's money available. Can the department look at developing a plan so that we know when we can see these positions filled, so all communities have GSOs, and small communities have GSOs in them? Thank you, Mr. Chair...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you. I thank the Premier for that. I think it is getting a little bit more clear for me now. Just to clarify, if it is in unsettled land claims areas, presently we are not taxing these people in traditional cabins. Is that correct? Thank you.
