Déclarations dans les débats

Question 352-18(2): Highway Maintenance Contract near Wrigley
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe we can educate the Minister on actually face-to-face that gives them that opportunity. Again, it's not about having a conversation over the phone; it's actually going in and meeting with the people. We're not talking about this one contract; we're talking about transportation issues in that community. So will the Minister please go into the community and meet with them? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 352-18(2): Highway Maintenance Contract near Wrigley
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Again, I thank the Minister for sort of kind of answering. I understand that he's had his staff go in and talk to the community. I understand he sent a letter, now he's offering a phone call. Actually, the community would like to have a face-to-face meeting with the Minister. So will the Minister make the commitment to actually meet them face-to-face, not by a phone, not by a letter, so they can actually deal with some of the issues of transportation?

Question 340-18(2): Highway Maintenance Contract Near Wrigley
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for his answer. It's very disappointing that we heard very loud and clear at the meeting that there was a verbal commitment, but will the Minister commit to meet with the chief and council to discuss this and other important transportation issues with this community? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 33918(2): Regional Recruitment Program
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi cho to the Minister for his answer. This is starting to feel like, unfortunately, summer students and that. Does the Minister know how many vacant positions are available for this program, and he talked about 15 as the recruitment number, but how many are actually available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 33918(2): Regional Recruitment Program
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

That's great to hear. Does the Minister have any priority two candidates in this of the 39, and the number, please?

Question 328-18(2): Mackenzie Valley Highway Funding Proposal
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi cho to the Minister for his answer. Will the Minister please commit to provide us on this side a quarterly or bi-annual report on the status of this project so we don't lose it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 328-18(2): Mackenzie Valley Highway Funding Proposal
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

I thank the Minister for his answer. I guess we are going to have to work on our mail service here in the Legislative Assembly so that we can actually get these documents on time instead of through the news.

Can the Minister confirm if the federal government has not put this just on hold or the backburner and when did he find out if it has been put there?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm pleased to recognize two pages that are selected from my riding, Sambaa K'e, Charles Tetcho School, the two students that were working as pages during this week. The two pages are Jada Lamalice and Atanda Kotchea and Norma Jumbo is the chaperone. So I thank them and welcome them to the Legislative Assembly. Thank you.

Member's Statement on Constituency Activities Report, Summer 2016
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you here today to speak about some of the things that happened since we were sitting this past June. First off, I need to apologize to the Minister of Transportation and his senior staff. During the business plans, I said I did not receive a letter regarding positions within the public service. In reality, the Minister did send a letter to the standing committee with this information. Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy until later on. Therefore, I again would like to apologize.

Mr. Speaker, right after session or the sitting, I headed to...

Question 33918(2): Regional Recruitment Program
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 31)

Okay. I thank the Minister for his answer. When he talked about developing a communications plan or strategy, is there anything else the department is doing to fill these positions?
