Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Responsibilities established in the mandate letter of the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs include "the development and maintenance of community governments... with sufficient legal authority and resources to carry out community responsibilities." Can the Minister state which NWT communities have been placed under supervision during the past five years and:
When and where MACA or other Government of the Northwest Territories staff have been seconded or assigned to community governments to provide support during a vacancy of senior administrative officer or finance officer positions over the last five years;
What activities MACA has undertaken to facilitate the staffing of vacant community government senior administrative staff positions;
The type, number, and uptake of training opportunities through the School of Community Government or other special training opportunities to build senior administrative positions capacity at the community level; and
The type and level of support to the local government administrators of the NWT (LGANT) to expand that organization's activities for senior administrative position recruitment, training, and retention. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
