Statements in Debates

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I'll move on now, too. Can the Minister tell me whether there is any funding in here for inspection and remediation of Cameron Hills? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. One of the earlier speakers mentioned the elimination of the equity lease administration line for 2021-2022. This was a program that was announced with much fanfare by the previous Minister and was supposed to go on for I think five years. Is this ending early, and have all of those leases been inspected now and they've all been transferred to fee simple ownership? Is that what has happened? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Lands at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 60)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I don't think I need to delay this any longer. I move that $303,000 be deleted from the activity corporate management under the Department of Lands for grants, contributions, and transfers related to the Northwest Territories Surface Rights Board. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Merci, Monsieur le President. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that Committee Report 9-19(2), Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures Report on the Chief Electoral Officer's Report on the Administration of the 2019 Territorial General Election, be received and moved into Committee of the Whole for further consideration.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I have a question for the Minister, if I could. I want to get a commitment out of the Minister that she is going to give the committee an opportunity to look at the evaluation framework and a draft of the report before it is finalized or Cabinet starts to make decisions about it so that Regular MLAs will have some input into the ongoing 911 program. Can the Minister make a commitment to share the terms of reference for the evaluation and then the evaluation report itself before Cabinet makes decisions around it? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Merci, Monsieur le President. Your Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures is pleased to provide its report on the Chief Electoral Officer's Report on the Administration of the 2019 Territorial General Election.

The Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures is pleased to Report on its review of the Chief Electoral Officer's Report on the Administration of the 2019 Territorial General Election.

The Elections and Plebiscites Act requires the Chief Electoral Officer to present a report on the administration of the election within six months of the election. The Chief Electoral Officer's Report...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thanks, Madam Chair. What work are we doing to prepare for this time, November 1, 2022, where the cap can be taken off the fees? Are we looking at potentially increasing those fees? What work has the department started to do? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I have some questions about the 911 program. I know that, when the legislation was passed in the last Assembly, there was a cap placed on the fees that were going to be charged to phone lines. I think it's $1.70 and it's in place for three years. The fees clearly are not covering the cost of the program. Where is the rest of the money coming from? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 59)

Thanks, Madam Chair. I can provide some assurance that they don't really seem to line up. I am looking at statement of operations. It has very different numbers in terms of expenses and revenues than what I see on 360. I am just trying to figure out how these two relate to each other. Why don't I just cut this short, Madam Chair? If you guys would actually present stuff in ways that were understandable, it would be far more helpful. Why don't I just seek a commitment out of the Minister to provide a written explanation as to why the annual report figures differ than what is in the main...
