Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Maybe I didn’t explain myself clear enough. With this new authority and that, will we be required to bring public administrators in? Because I know right now you’ve said we’re getting regional boards and that, and Hay River has the one until they become part of it. In the past with authorities you’ve had to go in with public administrators. Will this new process ensure that this doesn’t happen again? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I get this correct, this is supposed to assist the communities or the regions with their mental health challenges and issues out there, so do we have the positions out in the region already that these people are going to be working with? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you for that answer. with this authority, are you going to bebecause right now, we have all these authorities and they don’t actually report to the Minister. Will this authority now be reporting to the Minister and with these other authorities, or is it a chain of command where it goes to the boards and it was just a relationship with the chair and the Minister. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister was just saying there was an increase and a decrease, so there are some new positions. My question is: of these new positions? Are they moved to Yellowknife or being allocated in Yellowknife or out in the region? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Where is this money being held then, if it’s onetime payment? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 214-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand the Minister may not be aware of barriers, as I recently was informed that there are some barriers. Mr. Speaker, if an NWT company is successful in getting work in BC they are required to pay PST on all their equipment moved into BC, plus they need to file multi-financial statements and related documents. On top of that, they have to purchase various permits. This adds up to thousands of dollars to the cost of the contract. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister have his department look into implementing similar for the NWT so we are on a level playing field? Thank...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

I’m good. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 214-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

I guess I’m quite disappointed in hearing that answer, and I’ll deal with some other questions later on. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please provide the rationale. Why did he and his department decided against this proposal?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank you for that answer. Are we going to be doing a supp for this or was this just a one-time off on that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 204-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for that answer. Can he also explain to this House how they’re going to guarantee that this Northern contact is actually going to be implemented throughout this contract because in the past there’s some concerns that it wasn’t followed through. Could the Minister please provide how they’re going to be able to present that information in the House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
