Does committee agree that Bill 20, An Act to Amend the Tlicho Community Government Act, is now ready for third reading?

Question has been called.

---Carried

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again encouraging and, again, I’m not denouncing the Minister’s math. It is as accurate as mine. The question really, at the end of this, is that it sounds like we are very close. It sounds like there are really only two communities that don’t have a plan in place, when math is accurate.

Can the Minister give some assurances to the House and Members here that by the end of fall of 2013, all 33 communities will have a validated emergency action plan? Thank you.

Question has been called. The motion is carried.

Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you. Mr. Kravitz and Ms. McLaughlin. Welcome back to the House. Committee, we’ll open up the floor now to general comments on Bill 20. General comments.

Ms. Bisaro.

I am excited to hear that. We do have these programs being offered to communities to update their plans, which then leads to my second question.

We do know that our GNWT emergency plan is responsible for providing assistance to local authorities during emergencies when our government is called upon. Can the Minister indicate at this time maybe some numbers of communities that are updated, that have been approved by this government in the last two years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. The motion is in order. To the motion.
