Question 29-18(2): Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency

Can the Minister please provide us with a picture of who was involved in coming up with these ideas for cuts, reductions, and revenue options?

Member’s Statement on Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 3)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and sorry for not getting that right. I will hopefully get it right next time. I agree that we must work together to address these fiscal challenges. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what we meant by working together. Later on, I'll have some questions for the Minister of Finance. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 3)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I had faith in consensus government. When we talk about consensus government, it is exchanging ideas, listening to people, and hashing it out until you come up with a consensus to it. Not, “well, here it is, we'll bring it to the floor and we'll hammer it out here.” To me, consensus government is working together so we're here and now. To the credit of Cabinet, I appreciate the work you guys did to this. You guys did a lot of work and took a lot of time into it. I don't think you've heard everybody's comments or concerns, because we wouldn't be here if you did. I think we...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As my Member’s statement talked about this morning, it was about process. Can the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs please explain the process used to get the Arctic Winter Games application process out to athletes across the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Question 17-18(2): Arctic Winter Games Application Process
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 2)

I won't say anything bad about the Minister, if this was his response. I would ask the Minister: With this process of the Arctic Winter Games, will he commit to do a review of the selection process and how the team is made up and the government's role as part of it.

Question 17-18(2): Arctic Winter Games Application Process
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 2)

I may have not heard the answer I'm looking for. I was trying to find out how in the process that information was getting out to the people.

Member’s Statement on 2023 Canada Winter Games
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 2)

Sorry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was daydreaming there for a second. Today I would like to take the House on a journey that was shared with me by a great-grandmother recently. Like all great-grandmothers, she had a vested interest in her great-grandchildren. She had a dream for each of them. The one she shared with me started some eight years ago, when her grandson started playing soccer. She had a dream that he would one day be successful; get the chance to play soccer on national and international stages.

Well, the international stage opportunity came with Arctic Winter Games this year. This...

Regarding regional balance, six communities out of the 33 have 11 spots. Could you please explain to me what the regional balance is, what they're talking about?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 1)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize Mr. Michaud, former mayor in Fort Simpson; now he's retired. As well, Alyssa Carpenter who's one of my soccer daughters, I welcome her, and a couple of former colleagues Geoff Ray and Sheena Tremblay, and as well, Ms. Doyle, my favourite soccer mom.
