Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 39)

Yes, as I mentioned, the roadway is apparently owned by the GNWT. I perhaps can get back to the Member opposite after I have spoken with ENR also about this, as well as my own department. I think a more detailed response would be necessary. Thank you.

I don't think I am going to be phoning Imperial Oil, but I do understand that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has been communicating with Imperial Oil about the property during the demolition phase, so there has been contact between Imperial Oil and the GNWT.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 39)

Yes, I do understand that there are concerns about the reliability of the results of the tests. However, if there are concerns about the reliability, I am sure the defence counsel will attempt to make applications in court so that the reliability of those tests can be reviewed. I do understand, however, that the machines are quite reliable and have been tested in various locations and climates in Canada. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 39)

There are different types of programs that are taking place. There is the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and the Drug Recognition Expert Training. I can advise that 31 police officers are trained in the SFST, and four members have been trained in the DRE.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department has developed a new cabin-type lease that will be implemented on both territorial and Commissioner's lands. This will support greater consistency between the two management regimes. We are expecting to roll that out in the fall of this year.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 15, Document Formalization, Service and Notice Reform Statute Law Amendment Act, be read for the third time, and, Mr. Speaker, I request a recorded vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 14, Miscellaneous Statute Law Amendment Act, 2018, be read for the third time, and, Mr. Speaker, I request a recorded vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

As I mentioned yesterday, we have written to Aboriginal groups; that is really a first step in this process. We are waiting to hear back from them. We sent a very extensive number of letters out to a large number of IGOs. We are waiting to hear back from them, so that is really the first step. I understand that I will be before committee at the end of October, and I could perhaps prepare and explain where we are in the whole process at that time.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

Yes, Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned yesterday, we are trying to determine which cabins are unauthorized and which are rights-based. We have considered them all untenured, and we want to find out from initially the Aboriginal groups which are actually rights-based. So that is our first step in this effort. Again, as I mentioned yesterday, there are more than 700 cabins or properties out there that are of concern, and we want to know which fall into which category, so that is our first step.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 38)

Question: do we need to add the words "as amended?" I am told no. Thank you.
