Déclarations dans les débats

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

Thank you to the Minister of Justice and the Minister of MACA on that one. Can that opinion be shared to committee in confidentiality? Thank you.

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

Thank you to Mr. Hagen there. I appreciate the answer, and thank you, Mr. Chair. I could spend probably about another hour on equity leases, but I don't have an hour, so I am actually going to go on to my next concern: the lease payments. Right now, it is 10 per cent by the government, as Mr. Beaulieu talked about. He has one constituent who pays $4,000. I have residents who are paying large amounts of money based on this 10 per cent and after 10 years they have paid for this land, not only once, but usually, if you are looking at making a home in a community, after 10 years you would hope...

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

Thank you, and I thank the Minister for that. So can the Minister tell us how many years that the lotteries has been used to pay for multisport games, including the money that has been allocated from this department? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Premier please confirm: is this the section where GSOs are in? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Sorry. In regard to what Mr. Beaulieu was talking about, the department has a legal opinion from Justice on what is traditional usage and what is recreational, correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess we just need a little bit more clarification, then, because in the budgets, it said converting mature equity leases to fee simple title. Are we converting equity leases to fee simple title, or are we not? Are we saying we have to worry about land claims that are settled here and land claims that are not settled here, and it's only going to be this area here? This needs to be clarified, because what I understood the Finance Minister to say was mature equity leases to fee simple title. That, to me, means it is going from...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer and being able to get that information out there. Will the Minister and the department be working with the five groups that actually access the lottery funds now and explain to them this is what the reality is going to happen in the future? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 145-18(3): Liquid Natural Gas Proposal
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

I thank the Minister, who kind of answered my third question, so I'll go back to my second question. Has the Minister talked to his staff about this proposal that, supposedly, some of the former Department of Public Works talked to these proponents of this proposal?

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

I wonder what caused management to lose $370,000. I shouldn't say "lost." We reallocated $370,000 between the Office of the Fire Marshal and the 911 program, to simply things. Is that correct, saying that?

Question 140-18(3): Alternate Fuel Sources for Small Communities
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 13)

I would like to thank the Minister for that answer. I greatly appreciate they are potentially looking at that. My next question is: what actions has the government taken to help Nahendeh communities reduce diesel usage, especially for the smaller communities?
