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?

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...
