Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 131)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that the chair rise and report progress. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 131)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, Carlson Construction of Edmonton completed the Lanky Court apartment complex in 1976. At the time, CMHC was the mortgage holder with a 50year loan in place the projected lifespan of the property. Carlson Construction leased the property to the NWT Housing Corporation for 15 years with the GNWT holding a onetime option to purchase, exercisable in 1991. The building was originally intended to accommodate GNWT staff.

Madam Speaker, in August 1988, a report was commissioned, "Lanky Court A Study of Building Rehabilitation for the Northwest Territories...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 131)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I also again think one is an extremely important motion. We've been hearing a lot about oh, treatment centres don't work. But, however, I think it's because of the way that we are labelling the centre. By using the term "treatment centre," we are bringing up a point of view of a clinical southern/western medicine style centre, and I don't believe that's what Regular Members have been asking for the last while and instead using the term as a healing centre I think is smart, first of all, to remove the idea or this barrier that seems to be in the Minister and the...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 131)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think this very nicely lines up with the motions that we moved here on the floor on Monday around suicide prevention and the supports for youth. It has been proven that young people that are involved in physical activity or have a sense of feeling like they belong somewhere are going to be more less likely to become addicts and/or have thoughts of suicide. I think that this motion clearly shows how our issues cover multiple departments, I think, within our government, and we often spoke about the breaking down of silos. So I strongly support this motion and hope that...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 131)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to thank the committee for doing this work. I have to I would guess that it was difficult work to undertake, and I do believe that it would have taken a toll on the committee in some form or manner as well as it is difficult for the residents to also hear this conversation as some of my colleagues have discussed with me. So I do appreciate that it is hard work and that we are heading down a very dangerous path at the moment when it comes to wellness, particularly amongst our youth and our Indigenous youth, and I just can't stress enough how...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. And I know there were some controversy around the board of governors, but I won't touch that here today. I guess my last question is around how will the community learning centres be used to utilize or open up for other initiatives within the community? I had the great fortune of going over to Makerspace recently and seeing their space, and the big conversation there was not so much about always having the programming for people but having the space so others can execute their programming. So if the Minister could respond to that, that would be great. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. And I appreciate the Minister's comments and commitments to share with me. I do think that there's a lot that can be done to ensure that residents don't feel blindsided as we progress. And I just want to get that plug in for extension of 52nd Street so that School Draw and Copper Sky don't deal with the traffic coming out of the university.

My next question, though, is to do with the facilities management plan. It does comment in the plan that the community learning centres are going to be a key role in the future polytechnic as extensions into the smaller communities...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would also like to welcome and congratulate Arctic Energy Alliance. I guess nobody probably told you that you get lots of acknowledgement when you show up in the gallery. I specifically would also like to acknowledge my constituents Abdul Mohammed and Kevin Cull who are here from Great Slave. Thank you very much.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess this one I think gets a little bit close to a big conversation we've been having around royalty disclosures and whether or not this would include private information of private businesses. I guess that would lead me to want more information on exactly what "detailed resource revenue data" means and therefore I will not support this part of the motions. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I wish to present to the House Bill 64, An Act to Amend the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act No. 3, to be read for the first time. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
