Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 167)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to the question, it's only the House could remove a Member. So it's not removing Members. It's just reappointment. The committee may want him off the committee. He'll get reappointed to another committee, and they do a tradeoff. So that's, like I said, only the House could remove Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just in regards to that, you know, I asked this question about, I think it was two years ago in regards to housing numbers. I need a House number and if it's furnished and they're ready to go in the community for safe housing. I have two individuals in, say for instance Tuktoyaktuk. One's living in a tent and one's living in a shack. I had another one in Paulatuk that was living in a trailer.

Inuvialuit values and tradition make everyone to take care of one another, to keep each other safe, but it brings a lot of stress on the family and sometimes elder abuse. Today we have three governments in the systems in Nunakput the Inuvialuit government, the territorial government, and the federal government. Each of these...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 166)

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, I am I'm going to support this. It's moving forward. We're going to bring everybody to the table And that's good news about what's happening here. Devolution in ‘14, I was here when that happened. And Inuvialuit, we signed on and everybody was given opportunity. But now if this bill passes, we get to pull it, bring everybody to the table and everybody will have a voice and a say in what they think is right. You know, I really hear what Ron says but, you know, at the end of the day we have to work together, and what Mr. Simpson said is we have to a starting point...
