Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Merci, Monsieur le president. I have a couple of Aurora College students I want to recognize in the gallery. They are Frame Lake residents, Kyle MacPhee and Whitney Fisher. I also would like to recognize Mr. Andy Young. He is a resident of Yellowknife. He organized a successful fundraising hockey game that I got to play in on Saturday this past weekend. The game was for Eugene Roach and his family. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, it looks like there are a number of, perhaps, communications efforts, positions identified on this page in relation to cannabis implementation. Can the Minister or staff give us a summary on what this is all about? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Given that the Minister of Finance and Minister of Infrastructure are looking for an appropriation for 2018-2019, when is the specific work for, say, the Mount Gaudet access road supposed to start? Is the intention to start it in 2018-2019? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Our government, I guess, is partnering and getting some money from the federal government to proceed with parts of the Mackenzie Valley Highway. Can the Minister explain what the status is of the Mackenzie Valley Highway Environmental Assessment that is before the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I look forward to getting a copy of the final study.

Can the Minister tell us: is there anything for the museum mid-life update or upgrade in renovations in the 20-year capital plan? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the list of items that the planning study is going to review. I know that half of the funding is going to come from the federal government. I support this work. I just want to make sure that it gets done in a timely fashion.

What are the prospects that we could obtain federal funding under the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund for the actual mid-life update itself, the renovations that are going to be required? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. My colleague from Kam Lake asked the questions I was going to. Thanks.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

I would like to thank the Minister for that information, and we will talk more about completing the network.

The exact duties and job descriptions of the victim services coordinators are not clear, as our government delivers these services through third parties in various communities. It is my understanding that some of these individuals perform many functions above and beyond the call of duty, including cleaning up crime scenes.

Can the Minister explain exactly what type of supports are available for these coordinators and whether there has ever been a review of the effectiveness of these...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So how is it decided whether an appropriation is used for this or whether it should come out of the liquor and cannabis revolving fund? Are there criteria for those? And can the Minister share those with us? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 42)

Merci, Monsieur le President. My question is for the Minister of Justice, who is responsible for victim services for this government. Can the Minister explain if there is a plan to expand the current community-based victim services offered through 10 coordinators to all of our communities, and, if not, why not? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
