WRITTEN QUESTION 12-16(4): GNWT SCIENCE AGENDA

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.

As originators of traditional knowledge, only indigenous peoples, the original stewards of our land, can regulate, make priorities and set standards for traditional knowledge. How will the Government of the Northwest Territories ensure that indigenous peoples are part of research processes?

The government plans to make large investments within the science agenda framework over the coming years. Have any organizations such as universities or institutes made financial commitments to do research in the NWT?

Can the Minister provide a list of research projects already committed to over the next two years, their locations and brief explanations of their purposes?
