Debates of October 23, 2006 (day 13)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise to update Members on progress made to date on the affordable housing initiative that will provide a $100 million investment in affordable housing in the Northwest Territories over the next three years.

Mr. Speaker, commitments made by this government to invest in housing through the affordable housing initiative will give us a lasting impact on our residents, our communities, and our territory for generations to come. Our success in acquiring the federal funding to complement the GNWT's investment will provide us with an opportunity to provide residents with an improved quality of life. Over the next three years, I anticipate that we will deliver new housing in every community in our territory. In addition, our increased emphasis on energy efficiency and maintenance is targeted to ensure that these homes will remain affordable and adequate well into the future.

Mr. Speaker, on two occasions during this Legislative Assembly, motions have been passed calling on the Housing Corporation to reduce core need. These motions called for reductions in core need, a renewed focus on the needs of seniors and the disabled, new partnerships with communities and aboriginal governments, and innovative approaches to provide adequate and affordable housing to northerners.

Mr. Speaker, I want to assure Members that this government takes these motions very seriously, and will continue working towards the goal we all share of improving housing conditions for all northerners and meet targets established by this Assembly.

I am pleased to inform this House that the Housing Corporation's initial allocations in communities called for up to 530 new dwellings. Based on these allocations, we estimate spending approximately $33 million in year one with the construction and delivery of over 170 homeownership and public housing dwellings in communities across the Northwest Territories. In year two we expect to expend an additional $32 million to construct and deliver more than 160 units, and year three calls for the spending of approximately $34 million to construct and

deliver more than 170 units. The delivery of new housing, the construction of multi-unit dwellings, and the replacement of public housing units will improve housing conditions, reduce core need, and ensure that residents in need enjoy the benefits of homeownership. As well, this year's construction has provided employment and training opportunities for our labour force.

Land planning and development is a key component of the affordable housing initiative. The Housing Corporation continues to work together with the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs and communities to ensure that land is available for construction. The formation of partnerships and community support are key factors in ensuring the success of this initiative. Land is in place for year one of this initiative, and we continue to work with MACA and communities on acquiring and developing land for years two and three.

Mr. Speaker, the provision of affordable housing contributes to our territory on many levels. The economic and social benefits of developing housing are significant, and are among the most effective tools for community development. Housing is more than just bricks and mortar. Affordable housing is vital to the health and safety of our citizens, to the economic sustainability of our communities and the quality of life of NWT residents.

Mr. Speaker, the affordable housing initiative represents a new beginning in our efforts to reduce core housing need and to ensure that residents of the Northwest Territories have access to adequate and affordable housing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I wish to make a statement about how a constituent of mine is being treated by our health care system.

The troubles began for him in December of 2003 when chest pain and tingling sensations were present. A stress test was to be performed but due to results from blood testing, a low priority was given to allow these tests to happen. The doctor quoted a wait time of six to 12 months. In January, while preparing for a vacation, my constituent consulted with his family doctor regarding concerns over travelling. While on vacation in February of 2004, my constituent had what appeared to be a heart attack. All tests for a heart attack were found to be negative. The doctors overseas instructed my constituent to see a neurologist upon his return to Canada.

Since getting back to Yellowknife in February of 2004, my constituent has had numerous appointments, referrals and meetings with me, as his MLA, doctors, the former CEO of Stanton Hospital and others regarding his lack of a proper diagnosis. It has been almost three years, Mr. Speaker, and my constituent is living with debilitating pain, unable to work, unable to support his family, unable to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time, all because we cannot find or get him the help he needs and he deserves.

How long does a resident of the Northwest Territories, or Canada for that matter, have to suffer before we offer some help? Mr. Speaker, his case needs a thorough examination and I find it unthinkable that we continue to let him suffer. He is now in the process of trying to go overseas to have his condition dealt with, at his own expense I might add. Why must he be forced into such drastic measures, and why is our health care system failing him? I'm looking for some answers for my constituent in his search for some help. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Colleagues, I'd like to draw your attention to the Speaker's Gallery and the presence of Mr. Sam Gargan, a former Speaker of the House.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to rise today to let my constituents know, and the people of the Northwest Territories know, that in the months that are remaining this Assembly that I will bring their issues to the table through this forum in the House using every Member's statement that's available, as well as questions to Ministers. I will be rising in support of the many initiatives as the need arises and the occasion permits to speak to the many issues and initiatives that I believe are good ones that are underway by the government, but I’m also going to raise some issues that have to be resolved that we have to look at more closely. I'm going to be very critical of the Conservative government in this House in what they have not done for the North, or what they have done, and I'll be raising those issues.

Today I would like, as well, just to reflect briefly on the process that transpired here late last week. Mr. Speaker, the practice as we know it through years of trial, the convention, the tradition has been when there are issues that involve concerns with Ministers of significance that we go into Caucus. That was done back in the conflict days of the '90s; it was done more recently when there were criminal charges and such against another Member, as recently with the Premier. I want to make the point in this House, as I have to the press, that what has transpired did not allow me due process, that we circumvented or ignored our own procedures; procedures that are absolutely critical in my mind for the functioning of a consensus government. The only thing I believe that allows us to function as a consensus government is the fact that we have the ability to come together as 19 Members to talk about issues, and I can remember meeting many times on these type of matters before any decisions were taken. That was not the case and that is unfair and unfortunate, but it has been done, so now we move on.

But there are some lessons, in my mind, that we want to take a close look at because I understand we are not finished with some of the issues as regards to Cabinet. I want to say to this House that…

Mr. Miltenberger, your time for Member's statement has expired.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I request unanimous consent to conclude my statement.

The Member is seeking unanimous consent to conclude his statement. Are there any nays? There are no nays. You may conclude your statement, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we must take the steps necessary to protect those processes that have been developed and that are vital to consensus government. As well, I will not be party to any further types of what I saw as legislative vigilante justice, nor will I agree to any unanimous consent. This Legislature deserves better and so do the people of the Northwest Territories.

Finally, Mr. Speaker, I will conclude by saying we have a tremendous agenda ahead of us with very limited time and we owe it to the people of the Northwest Territories to take care of their business. Thank you.

---Applause

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (Translation) My Member's statement for today is regarding leaders, the RCMP. When we call the RCMP station in Rae, we are forwarded to Yellowknife station. Sometimes when there are emergencies, we have to wait a very long time to get a response and people are not happy with that. (Translation ends)

…an issue or a concern that many people from my community of Behchoko have been phoning the RCMP after normal hours. Mr. Speaker, calls from Behchoko to the RCMP are routed to Yellowknife detachment after regular hours with no person there speaking the Tlicho language. In Behchoko, a number of people that speak their Tlicho language just hover over 60 to 80 percent. This is something that we take great pride in, Mr. Speaker. Unfortunately, it sometimes puts our citizens at risk when services are not available in our own languages. Measures must be in place to ensure the protection and safety of our people, especially those who are unable to speak English, should be a priority.

Mr. Speaker, elders in our community who can only speak their native tongue rely on the people to speak for them. They cannot always count on someone being able to help them especially in emergency and violent situations.

Mr. Speaker, as part of the RCMP accountability to the Northwest Territories, they state that in cooperation with the GNWT Department of Justice, they are committed to leading the country in the delivery of superior services, reflective of community needs and values. They have an opportunity to demonstrate this commitment by providing round-the-clock services in a Tlicho language, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, the people of Behchoko want to work with the RCMP and the Government of the Northwest Territories to find a solution. Together, in partnership with the GNWT and RCMP, we can work towards a safer community for all residents. Mahsi.

---Applause

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I just want to express my sincere condolences for the family and relatives and all the friends of the late Lorna Norn who perished in a house fire in Fort Smith earlier this week.

Lorna leaves behind three small children ranging from ages two to 10. Lorna is the daughter of Leona Poitras from Deninu Kue and was raised by Bill and Terra Norn of Deninu Kue.

Mr. Speaker, our prayers go out to these family members who all came together to raise an outgoing, very vibrant and well liked, and a very family oriented northern mother who was keen on providing the best for her family, but sadly her dreams and aspirations were shortened by this tragic event; an event which will not be easily forgotten by residents, by northerners, friends and especially family members from all over Tu Nedhe who knew Lorna.

Lorna will always be remembered through her children, and I ask the Creator to watch over them and ask that the many family members and friends of Lorna to take care of her children, which I'm sure will happen, and ensure that her children are always reminded of the wonderful person that their mother was to all the people that knew her. God bless her and her kids. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the many goals of this government is to look at healthy families, self-reliant people helping themselves. Mr. Speaker, people in our smaller communities want to know how does that translate into their lives and into their communities. What does that possibly mean? What type of action could be put in place to get to those goals, and where do we start and where can we help and why do it?

Mr. Speaker, communities down the Mackenzie Valley have a high increase of alcohol and drugs in the Northwest Territories. It's been reported that the Northwest Territories are big spenders on alcohol and drugs; that we have probably the highest consumption of alcohol here in the Territories and that there's a high crime rate due to the use of alcohol. If you look at the RCMP stats or the Crown stats, businesses loose thousands and thousands of dollars in this issue here due to absenteeism from workers. Families, especially young children, are devastated, affected every weekend in the communities. Children run homeless and there's homeless homes in those small communities. Mr. Speaker, then there's health, there's education. We just go on and on.

Mr. Speaker, interestingly enough this morning News/North and on CBC Radio there was a report of a potential strike of workers at Nats'ejee K'eh that may happen. The healing process will come to a halt, Mr. Speaker, for people who want to seek alcohol residential school care. Well, there is a solution, Mr. Speaker. It's right from the people; the people asking we could help ourselves. The government has to look at alternatives, mobile, residential treatment programs in the communities or on the land. Bring the programs on the land. Bring the whole family, not just the individual. Get them out into the land. Get family instruction, have it small. People help themselves out there, Mr. Speaker, similar to the justice program that we started in Fort Good Hope under the Department of Justice. Do a pilot project. Bring the families out there to reconcile and do some healing. Put the families out there, Mr. Speaker, and in the communities they can help them by the Housing Corporation take care of homes. Education can look at the children and help them with their education studies; employment where people get to work.

Mr. Speaker, the solutions are there. We have to get behind these qualities and that and get the people to start looking after themselves the best we can. Give them the tools and support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Last Friday the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board tabled in this Assembly a glossy version of the various activities of the WCB in the last year. The Minister related to us the cover story of this magazine which featured an inspirational story of a man who entered into Canada from Czechoslovakia who, after a serious work-related injury persevered and, through determination, returned to work.

Mr. Speaker, I'd remind the Minister that there is, in too many cases, a very unglossy version of affairs to do with the cases of some injured workers in our WCB. I would relate again to this Assembly the case of Mr. Ivan Valic, an injured worker who was injured some 19 years ago and continues to seek a resolution to his issues, especially those regarding chronic pain. Mr. Speaker, on December 14th of last year, Justice Virginia Schuler of the NWT Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Valic's rights in regard to the Charter had been violated, that his right to natural justice had been denied. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to suggest that perhaps like the gentleman featured in the WCB's magazine, Mr. Valic is also an inspiration, but there's an irony here in that he's an inspiration not in the case of overcoming person adversity and suffering, but rather that he continues to struggle valiantly against a bureaucracy and a system that seems to have gone out of its way to trample his rights.

Mr. Speaker, when Justice Schuler granted Mr. Valic's request for a new tribunal there was a hope in that ruling that such a tribunal would be struck in a timely manner. We are now coming up 10 months and this is just not acceptable, Mr. Speaker. It shows again that our WCB, the Appeals Tribunal, and the various processes that we should have working on behalf of injured workers are indeed, in some cases, continuing to stymie them. Mr. Speaker, it's been 10 months since Judge Schuler's decision and I wonder what is meant by her request for timely consideration in the view of our WCB, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Before I make my statement, I'd like to send out a birthday wish to my son Darren John Pokiak who turned 19 yesterday.

---Applause

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the need for RCMP presence in Sachs Harbour again. I know this has been going on for a long and I'm still going to pursue it for the presence of RCMP in Sachs Harbour.

Mr. Speaker, I had an opportunity to travel with the Honourable Brendan Bell and his staff and also the RCMP to Sachs Harbour in late June of this year. At that time, Mr. Speaker, there was a public meeting where the Minister heard firsthand exactly what's going on in the small community, where there's no RCMP presence, in terms of alcohol and drug abuse, carelessness of firearms, and also family violence, which shouldn't be tolerated in any community, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, Sachs Harbour, again, is one of the 11 communities without an RCMP presence and I hope that the department can address all these problems down the road. Also, Mr. Speaker, the mayor informed at the meeting that Sachs Harbour did have two RCMP members years ago. A small isolated community like that, they should have RCMP presence.

Mr. Speaker, I understand because of the legislation there needs to be two RCMP members located in the communities. This makes it really difficult, Mr. Speaker, for the communities without an RCMP presence. Where is the safety of these people?

Mr. Speaker, during the public meeting Minister Bell promised -- and I say promised -- the mayor and public that by July 2007 there will be two RCMP members stationed in Sachs Harbour. Mr. Speaker, I'm willing to work with the Minister in that regard and I'm going to quote Minister Bells' comment in light of the transcripts on page 721 on Wednesday, October 18th, 2006, and I quote, "It's not about, at this point, coming up with more from this government for officers. The feds pay for the tab when it comes to capital. We are looking at capital for Sachs Harbour. We think we have a federal commitment there." Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to complete my statement.

The Member is seeking unanimous consent to conclude his statement. Are there any nays? There are no nays. You may conclude your statement, Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In closing, Mr. Speaker, the safety of all northerners needs to be addressed by this government and the federal government by ensuring police officers are stationed in all the NWT communities.

Hear! Hear!

In closing, Mr. Speaker, I will have questions for the Honourable Brendan Bell at the appropriate time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last week the former Minister of Health and Social Services committed to have in the capital budget for YACCS be in place for the '08-09 fiscal year, and obviously this is better than nothing but it's still disappointing from where we all thought we were at. Mr. Speaker, for at least a dozen years, concerned citizens of Yellowknife have worked tirelessly on this project. In fact, the government was so impressed with the proposal done by the YACCS that it actually hired the consultant that worked on the project to do a plan for the entire NWT. Well, good on them for doing them, but where are we with the NWT-wide plan for the seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia conditions, I ask you, Mr. Speaker.

For the YACCS, the first idea was to borrow the money commercially and build it itself as long as the government would be willing to commit to O and M funding. Then the Minister came back to say that they would rather fund it within the GNWT budget through the regular capital project process. It was a hope that the federal government might be able to step in. I was especially encouraged when the Minister committed $1 million for planning money last year and I logically assumed that the project would advance accordingly in subsequent years. So imagine my surprise, Mr. Speaker, when I learned that this was not in the books at all. So now we are all supposed to go away with the verbal commitment that this will be in the books for '08-09, but I have to tell you, the way the budget process works around here where even a capital item in this year's budget could fall off the books for one reason for another, I'm going to have to insist on something more concrete and substantial.

Fiscal year '08-09 is a commitment for the next Assembly and that is just too distant and far too short. As such, Mr. Speaker, I'll be looking at the new Minister of Health to commit to a plan and put some money for the upcoming '07-08 budget; not only that, I'll be looking to him for an NWT-wide plan on Alzheimer's and dementia care, because I have to tell you this, Mr. Speaker, this is not just a Yellowknife issue, I believe all our citizens with A and D, wherever possible, should be allowed to spend their days in their communities and to do that, this government is going to have to plan, a concrete and substantial plan, and this plan has to include how to look after these elders in the interim and not just in facilities. So we need to revamp the home care and assisted living programs all across the NWT to clear the void and we need a plan and we need a plan for infrastructure. So, Mr. Speaker, I would just like to advise the House that whoever is going to get this portfolio has now been notified. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been talking a lot about the cost of living in the North. However, I would like to challenge this government for the somewhat unobvious and intangible things that they are doing to address the cost of living.

We, as Regular Members, went around to communities in late summer and talked to residents of the North about the cost of living. Now, fortunately for us, the weather is holding very nice. The long-range forecast is still good. It’s October 23rd and it’s still warm and summer out. I can say in my own house in Hay River, we have not turned the boiler on yet, but that doesn’t mean the cold weather is not coming and the cost of fuel is very high and many northerners are struggling to deal with the cost of living. A big part of that is their utility costs.

Mr. Speaker, when we take action as a government to address the cost of living, we think of things like the Arctic Energy Alliance. We think about public service announcements, we think about energy audits. We think about pamphlets and brochures and a whole bunch of stuff, which the only real value they have towards the cost of living would be if you are using it as fire starter if you are fortunate enough to have a wood stove in your house.

I think we, as a government, need to get a little more creative, do something a little more tangible. I think that an interest-free program for northerners to access money….Ironically, if you have an issue with the cost of living, you don’t have the capital money you need to install a pellet stove or a wood stove or put insulation on your house. So we need something that is a tangible, real measure that will go some ways towards helping people address that. So I would suggest that perhaps under the auspices of the NWT Housing Corporation, there should be an interest-free loan program that northerners can access and they can reinvest this money into their house. Enough with all those things that are out of everybody’s reach. Later today, I would like to ask the Minister of Housing how long it would take him to come up with something real in that area, something useful. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to rise to speak on the increase in natural gas for customers in Inuvik. It’s become a real concern to the residents of Inuvik because they feel like they have a forum or a hearing to express their displeasure over the increase in the price of natural gas. The supplier is allowed to make a reasonable profit, but a lot of people up there think that it’s an unreasonable request that they are putting forward, a 16 percent increase when they had to deal with another increase last year and the supplier is saying that they are going to be cheaper than diesel. Well, 1998-99 when this came forward, fuel was like $25 a barrel, now we are up around $60 a barrel. That’s driving the price up. It’s not realistic for people to switch back to diesel after they have already converted to natural gas. It’s expensive and very costly. A lot of people’s concern up there is that the fields are 50 kilometres from Inuvik and they are still expected to pay the high increases to the price of natural gas. The Public Utilities Board has said that there has not been enough evidence of public concern over this issue. I take exception to that because I have been getting a lot of correspondence from people up in Inuvik and I do speak for the people in Inuvik. I would like to think I speak for them. So they are asking me to bring this forward and they want a public outcry. They will get a public outcry minus the tears.

I feel people up there want a forum, they want a hearing, they want the opportunity to hear the supplier’s case for increasing the price and they want an opportunity to voice their opposition to such price increase. The supply, Mr. Speaker, is only 50 kilometres from Inuvik and it’s probably cheaper in Alberta than we pay in Inuvik. Thank you.

---Applause

In 2004, there were over 50,000 passengers and cargo flights landing in Yellowknife. This year, the number of flights grew by 30,000 flights because the winter roads closed early. A lot of these flights flew over Yellowknife waking babies, upsetting parents and causing a serious amount of noise pollution. When and if the pipeline goes ahead, flights over Yellowknife will only seriously increase.

Last year, the diamond mines were only able to get about two-thirds of their vehicles that they required in to get their freight and resupply ready. That forces them to find extra alternative ways to get that freight in by flying it through. As a consequence, Mr. Speaker, Yellowknife is subjected to the Russian planes in our airspace flying over 24 hours a day all summer. This means this annoyed a lot of Yellowknifers, if the Minister of Transportation isn’t getting it.

The territorial government is spending millions on fixing winter road access every year to help industry, but it seems climate change is beating us down and our winter roads are shrinking. So, yet again, Mr. Speaker, this is a fine example where the NWT continues to support industry and the federal government by us spending millions of dollars on roads that we get very little or no return at all on, but it’s not all doom and gloom, Mr. Speaker. I have a solution to the problem. We need to finally complete the Ingraham Trail, Mr. Speaker, by building an all-weather year-round road to the mining corridor. We have to do this long before Nunavut wakes up and realizes that the Bathurst deepwater port may be a good argument. So, Mr. Speaker, we need to reinvigorate Diefenbaker’s dream about access to the North.

Mr. Speaker, maybe this Conservative Prime Minister will finally wake up and hear the cry of the North’s promise about true access. Mr. Speaker, now I have heard the cost of flying those planes, the diamond mine resupply, costs millions and millions of dollars. So let’s start reinvesting this money into road infrastructure rather than allowing it to fly away.

As the Premier has said, it only costs about $50 million to build a rough road all the way up from Yellowknife to this mining corridor, so let’s spend money that would be money well spent. Logistically, it makes sense to allow resupply to happen year round, rather than squeeze it in between 90 days or less. I am saying the GNWT and the mines should petition the federal government together, because the federal government is the one receiving the royalties and they should be a major player in this. Mr. Speaker, may I seek unanimous consent to continue my statement?

The Member is seeking unanimous consent to conclude his statement. Are there any nays?

Nay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it gives me pleasure today to introduce in the gallery, my constituency assistant, Ms. Jennifer Debastien, down for orientation at the Assembly. Thank you.

I don’t know if any other Members do that, but I would just like to welcome Mr. Gargan to the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my statement, I talked about the alcohol and drug issues in the Northwest Territories. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Honourable Floyd Roland, in terms of the issue the communities want to look at regarding mobile alcohol and drug treatment programs that are community based, regionally adapted, that would serve not only the individual but the families as a whole to have mobile family treatment centres in our communities. Would the government consider looking at that option in terms of best effectively working with the families in this issue of alcohol abuse?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Roland.

Return To Question 157-15(5): Mobile Alcohol And Drug Treatment Centres

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The issue of drug and alcohol treatment programs in the Northwest Territories is one that has concerned us for quite some time. As long as I have been a Member of the Legislative Assembly, the issue has come up time and again. The Department of Health and Social Services, over a number of years, has tried to adjust its programming to fit the criteria for northern families and individuals. In this situation I know the department has undergone a review of how it provides programs and, with the previous efforts of the previous Minister, things are in the works to change. I would have to look at this particular avenue, what’s entailed in it, what direction we would like to go in and see how that fits with the plans that are in place. As of yet, I think Members would realize that I need to get some of that detail from the department and gladly look at it, initially at least. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.
