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

In regards to investigations, is there a reason for the increase in it? Is it just people more aware or is it better promotion on your guys' part or what's the rationale for this?

Member’s Statement on “Day of Pink” Support for LGBTQ
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to follow-up on my Member's statement of Wednesday, February 24th about the International Pink Shirt Day. As we heard that day from a number of Members and the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, bullying is a daily experience for many young people across the Northwest Territories and Canada. On February 26th, I received a letter from It Gets Better Yellowknife, an outreach program to support queer and trans youth in Yellowknife, informing me about the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity's Day of Pink, the...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I notice about an $18,000 increase in travel in this one. In the other section there was reduction in travel, so could the Minister explain why the increase in travel in this area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 144-18(2): Community Capacity Building
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

Again, I'd like to thank the Minister for his answer. In the past, we've heard about an accountability framework and how it is important to help communities out. Can the Minister please explain how this tool is used to help the communities to achieve success without the government stepping in or entering into a co-management relationship?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the funding is still there, but is that position going to be filled this fiscal year? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 144-18(2): Community Capacity Building
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, as you heard in my Member's statement, community capacity is important. During my last constituency tour, a number of concerns were raised about Municipal and Community Affairs' role in this area. I would like to ask the Minister for Municipal and Community Affairs if he can explain the role his department has in regard to working with communities in regard to capacity building. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member’s Statement on Community Capacity Building
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I stand before this Chamber and our colleagues to speak about something that is very important: community capacity building, especially in the smaller communities in the NWT. Mr. Speaker, if you talk to people and ask them what it means to them, you could get hundreds if not thousands of variations of the definition. Today I would like share with you one that resonates with me. Community capacity building is a concept approach to social and personal development that focuses on understanding the obstacles that inhibits people, governments, and nongovernment...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

I ask that question again. I guess this is the right page for it. I notice in here we have gone from 13 to 18 increase of positions, and they said three were moved from the Executive but that is still two additional more positions. Could you explain this difference? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 13)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to follow up on my colleague's question, what is a controllable asset? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
