Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess my question is: if you are evaluating now, is the evaluation going to be done before the program stops in December and that you will have another program ready to go March or January 1st? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member’s Statement on Congratulations to Graduates of Thomas Simpson Secondary School
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Tomorrow afternoon, I will get the honour of attending the Thomas Simpson School graduation at the Papal site, weather permitting. If it is going to be bad weather, we are into the school. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the 17 graduates and graduands for reaching this major milestone in their lives and achieving a major goal in their lives. The uniqueness of the Thomas Simpson School graduation is that it has students from the smaller communities from the Nahendeh riding as part of this celebration. These students come from their small communities and spend...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his answer. I am not talking about large law firms. I am talking about provincial and territorial governments. My understanding is that if this does occur in our territory we will be the only one in Canada without a law library. Is that correct, Mr. Chair? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

I thank Ms. Schofield for that answer. I appreciate the historicals, which are actually more reflective of what is going on. At this point I have no specific questions for this page. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Anderson. I’m not arguing about, or I totally understand the concept. I’m just trying to understand. The budget is $280,000, and you have three... It’s $70,000. You have three projects. It’s $210,000, so there’s a savings of $70,000, unless that… Is that $70,000 for over expenditures, or over cost runs for these communities so you make sure you don’t fall or they don’t, I guess, stop the success of the program? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Just a couple of clarifications with Northern Pathways to Housing. Is it $280,000 at $70,000 per project, or is it three divided by the $280,000? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 244-18(2): Information on Fort Simpson Ferry Service
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

I thank the Minister for the commitment. I am assuming we’re talking about the sitting at the end of this June. I think that’s what I heard. Mr. Speaker, the Minister made a commitment to provide me the information about the cost for operating the ferries in the Northwest Territories; however, again I asked for the return date. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister commit to having this information to provide to me by the end of this sitting?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

I’d like to report progress please. I move that we report progress.

Question 244-18(2): Information on Fort Simpson Ferry Service
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of follow-up questions for the Minister of Transportation regarding the ferry services. Mr. Speaker, the Minister made a commitment in this House to provide me of the cost analysis of what the two extra hours of ferry operations would be. Unfortunately, I did not ask for a date for getting that information. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister commit to having this information to provide to me by the end of June 24th. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess I am just a little bit confused because it talks about district operations. Maybe I can get a clarification what district operations means then if it doesn’t mean the O and M and staffing of their district office as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
