Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So would a goal like promoting the use of the ODARA Score tool, would that be part of a territory-wide policing priority? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate that response. Can the Minister tell us how the request for proposals for the new service provider will differ from the request for proposals for the previous or the current service provider? What are the major differences that are being contemplated for the next round? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thank you. I want to give an example. So we all know that family violence rates, meaning assault and sexual assault in intimate partnerships, are at high levels. So how would a goal like working more closely on prevention work in this kind of a situation, or is that not a level of detail that these plans go into? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave that, notwithstanding rule 4, when this House adjourns on February 23, 2017, it shall be adjourned until Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Further, that at any time prior to February 28, 2017, if the Speaker is satisfied after consultation with the executive council and Members of the Legislative Assembly that the public interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such notice and shall transact...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thank you very much to the Minister for making that commitment to come back with what percentage of inmates get some kind of programming and what kind of programming they get. I think this is my last question in this section, and that is the financial impact of taking federal inmates. I am assuming that Corrections Canada pays the territorial government for housing federal inmates. What do they pay in this case? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if the Minister doesn't yet know what the policing priorities are for the next year I'm happy for him to take my question on notice and to get back to me, but the best policing service possible and similar to last year's are not the level of detail I'm looking for. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 58)

I would like to ask my favourite Minister to consider that the best solution is to enable seniors to stay in their homes as long as possible, whether those homes are owned or rented. It may be financially advantageous to offer a rental subsidy to seniors to stay in place when they retire. To do so would probably be both less expensive than moving them into public housing and also less of a drain in having them move. So I wonder if the Minister will consider some kind of a rental subsidy specific to seniors that would allow to stay in own homes?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 58)

Thank you for catching that. Yes, in fact, I am talking about the CARE Program.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 58)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, by the time full implementation of these rate increases takes place, how much money will the Housing Corporation be saving on utilities? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 58)

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today, I want to speak about a catch-22 facing some of the retirement-aged seniors in my riding. They are well into their 60s, and they would like to retire after a long and full work life. They have worked hard, but for limited income, and they haven't been able to buy a condo or home along the way; and they don't have future income to look forward to, except the most basic federal pension. They cannot afford to retire and pay market rent for a place to live. Where will they live in the so-called "golden years"?

One potential remedy is Avens Court. It has 32...
