Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Stewart, for that answer. The reason I'm asking these questions is I know we had a presentation in camera, but my understanding is that's confidential so I'm trying to understand what's out there. Are you guys looking at changing the process of how you guys calculate these things for the boards, and have you communicated that change if it's going to be out to the boards?

Question 182-18(2): Rcmp Service in Wrigley
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

I thank the Minister for his answer. I understand that, you know, we don't control it and we pay for part of their salary and that. The big concern in the communities is that the people that are breaking the laws are getting away with things and elders are feeling threatened or concerned about the well-being of the community. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister talk to the RCMP as well about checking vehicle registration, people's insurance, and their drivers' licences in these communities when they're there?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Just a couple questions. I noticed in fees and payments there's almost a $2,000,000 reduction. Can the Minister or his department explain why we have such a huge reduction in this area? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Thank you for clarifying that. In regards to your guys' benefits and salaries, where do you guys earmark these numbers? How do you calculate them? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 182-18(2): Rcmp Service in Wrigley
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week, we had a respected elder that was part of the Stanton Indigenous elders’ advisory committee approach me about concerns in Wrigley with the RCMP. My question is to my favourite Minister, who is walking out the door, but…

I'm just messing with you.

This is a question for the Minister of Justice. Can the Minister of Justice please provide… Does the RCMP have a schedule for going into the community of Wrigley, and is it posted? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Is there any other programs that are within this department or is there ITI? I am looking for harvesting, Tsiigehtchic gardening, is that in another department or is it your guys' department mandate? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister please explain how the budgets are developed for the regional education councils? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member’s Statement on Clarification Regarding Ece Positions In Nahendeh
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday and today was a learning opportunity for myself as we started going through the Department of Education's mains. As many may have heard in the Committee of the Whole, I was very disappointed to hear that we lost two half-time positions within the department. One was a vacant position that was moved to the North Slave and the other one was to be eliminated as part of the reduction plan. I was really concerned because I was not aware of the eliminated position. As we were going through the business plans, the departments identified potential...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)

In this partnership, how much is actually in this budget to run this program? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 16)
