Déclarations dans les débats

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…

---Laughter

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.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you. Mr. Chair, when we are looking at inclusive schooling, it has gone up by about $100,000, but I have heard the deputy minister talk about this being important and how it is going to be making it better for the students and that. They seem to have big plans. I am just trying to figure out how those plans actually meet this budget when we are only talking $105,000 increase, when in reality, the work that you guys seem to be talking about seems to be huge in nature. Can you please elaborate? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regards to the reporting, has the department gone to the federal government and said this is a hindrance, this is a challenge for the people within our communities? You know, the reporting is a challenge, and if that's stopping people from accessing funding that doesn't bode well for the people with disabilities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When are we going to find this information out, about half-time positions that are being moved? We have to look at the budget and we have to research to find this information? Because this is now two positions within your department that have been either deleted with reductions or transferred, and which is two positions in my riding. I'd like to get that clarified please. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister explain how his budget was developed? I am sitting here looking. There are increases and decreases throughout this page here, and it doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, but I know that the department has done a good job of preparing it. I just need to understand how they did it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
