Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thought Mr. Beaulieu was ahead of me. We're on page 218, correct? I just want to make sure because yesterday I was a couple pages ahead sometimes. In regards to contract services, I see a huge increase from $8,000 to $350,000. Can the Minister explain why there's this huge jump and discrepancy in money since it was $8,000 last year? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 157-18(2): Small Community Funding in New Build Canada Plan
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

The federal component, 75 per cent, I would like to ask the Minister, what is the communities' share and/or the GNWT's share?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just with this policy, do you guys submit a report to committee on not the specific incidents but the number of incidents and what the costs are and what it involves? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 157-18(2): Small Community Funding in New Build Canada Plan
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I should ask this question to the Minister of ENR, but I'll address it to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Yesterday the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs did a Minister's statement about the Federal Infrastructure Funding Program for the NWT community governments. It was great to hear the department was able to access the small community funds which is part of the New Building Canada Plan: Provincial- Territorial Infrastructure Component. Mr. Speaker, thank God, lots of words, can the Minister please provide this House on what the definition...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I understand this correctly, the actuals are… We're saying travel has been more in this area throughout the years because I mean I'm looking at actuals in 2014 at 38, they almost doubled in 2015-16 and now 2016-17 we're at another $18,000, so I'm seeing a steady increase in here. Is that just because of the work that's been involved? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Historically, is that over the number of years or just last year? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am aware of my time here, so I will try to be succinct with my comments. Great job with the 80 with the progressive experience. Even a better job with the 24 with related experience, which is in the health care system, which is great. Well done. But we are missing other fields, and we are missing this opportunity. I am not talking about all students coming back north. I am talking about our P1s, and our P2s, which are our priorities as government. That is what we should be looking at doing. I am hoping that we can hear something from you guys that we can talk about it...

Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just five or six agreeable questions. The first one is when we talk about human resources planning. Has the government looked at talking about summer employment? I realize each department has priority or has to make the decision. But can the Minister please provide a commitment or a working tool so that it becomes part of our mandate or our policy that we will look at employing summer students and that we have a goal in each department and every department is given a goal so that they can fulfil that mandate so that we see summer students come back so that we show that we...
