Member’s Statement on Department of Infrastructure Regional Offices

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. The Government of the Northwest Territories is working on organizational restructuring proposals, as part of the ongoing efforts, to ensure it remains on a fiscally-sustainable path for the future. Proposals include the amalgamation of the department of Public Works and Services and the Department of Transportation into a single infrastructure department. The other merging of corporate services functions is currently carried out by the Departments of Executive, Finance, Human Resources, and Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations.

The GNWT previously announced plans on reducing expenditures and increasing revenue measures as part of its fiscal strategy.

Given the concluding chapter of our physical budget recently, later I will have questions for the appropriate Minister on preliminary start-up practices and policies. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER
