Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 103)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, emergency process is local, regional, territory. We as Government of the Northwest Territories do not interfere and get out the communications for the communities. We work with the community. We follow their path, their direction. And if they ask us for the region we then go out there. We do not also interfere with the RCMP. They have a communication strategy and a plan. But on my understanding there will be a lessons learned with this. We will be working with Justice and Health and the community and the RCMP on this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 103)

Yeah, so when the school of community government got developed, it was to help the communities when it was with the or the college and that. The problem was is that it didn't meet the needs of the communities. So these programs that we developed were for the communities. They did have a committee, an evaluation committee that looks at it and that there. But for further detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Question 1000-19(2): Canadian Red Cross
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 103)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said at the very beginning, the RCMP were in charge of this. We, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, do not want to give misinformation out there. We work with the town. We had conversations with the town. We had conversations with the RCMP. They are in charge of communications. They were getting that out there. For the 12 hours delay, I'm not sure why it happened, it was 12 hours. But I can guarantee you that we were in contact with the department with sorry, with the town and the RCMP on this matter. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
