Statements in Debates
Thank you, Dr. Kelly. Mr. Vanthuyne.
In my statement, as I stated earlier, the Gwich'in Tribal Council, along with a number of other Aboriginal governments and community governments in the City of Yellowknife and surrounding, from what I understand, they are looking for in the neighbourhood of $135,000. I am sure the Premier will see another proposal here shortly. From what I understand, there was one submitted earlier, but I am sure another could be resubmitted.
Also, my next question is: to make sure we are not reinventing the wheel, the charette's participants will need to know clearly where this government stands on its energy...
Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Thompson.
Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister McLeod.
Thank you, Ms. Green. Yes, it is, Ms. Green.
Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Vanthuyne.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to return to a subject discussed earlier this month by my colleague, the Member for Tu NedheWiilideh.
In June, energy stakeholders will come together to run a charrette on carbon taxing from opportunities and possible rules to revenues and community energy projects. They'll also be planning for the use of micro-grids to reduce emissions. There have been NWTbased energy charrettes in the past, and the GNWT has been a major player. Some might say that we don't need another conference, or that we need to take action, not just talk about it.
Mr. Speaker...
Thank you, Dr. Kelly. Mr. Thompson.
