Statements in Debates
Yeah, thank you. And I guess I'll just one last question about the $2.5 million under information technology projects here. So is the current split of when I see something in Finance and when I see something in Infrastructure just a hardwaresoftware split? Is it all of does Infrastructure ever have software show up in this IT budget line or would this well, yeah, I guess the Minister's going to get back to me whether this is all evergreening or current physical infrastructure. But is that the general split, that you guys get the hardware and they get the software? Is that what's happening...
Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess I'll start with some comments that I find the capital plan estimates to be one of the unworkable documents ever, and I get that first and foremost it is a Finance document, not an Infrastructure document. But as an example, we require every municipality to have asset management plans we are trying to get them all to have asset management plans. And they're great documents. They tell you the total replacement cost of every single asset they own. They kind of give you a timeline for construction. And I know the department has a lot of stuff inhouse. You know...
Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I guess, well I would like to know how much we actually spend on our server infrastructure. I believe it's something actually higher than $2.5 million, and if not, tens of millions to replace it. But the whole point of this was leading to a question of I was wondering if the GNWT has looked into any cloudbased computing. I know that the federal government now has a cloudfirst policy after the Treasury Board did an analysis and said that, you know, getting rid of their physical servers and switching to a cloudbased model would save them tens of millions...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And in a similar vein, the mandate committed to signing two agreements in the realm of treaty land or selfgovernment implementation. I'm just wondering if the Premier can update this House whether she still believes we can sign two agreements in the life of this Assembly. Thank you
Thank you, Madam Chair. I see that there's, under the technology service centre, there's a replacement of our capital service network and storage infrastructure. Would someone be able to tell me the estimated cost of that replacement?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier. The mandate commits us to an UNDRIP action plan for summer 2022. Obviously, summer has passed, and we have not seen that action plan. So when can we expect to see that, Mr. Speaker?
That's great, I'm happy to hear that, very exciting. I'll go walk the trail when it's done.
My other question is I know that I brought this up before, when you kind of reach the end of Ingraham Trail, you hit Tibbitt Lake, and then you kind of just hit an ice road, and often there has been garbage, there has been the shortage of parking. And, you know, I think a lot of tourists they go drive the Ingraham Trail because there's not a lot to do and, you know, they want to go for a drive and then you just kind of hit this area that ends in nothing. And I've had requests for some sort of garbage can...
Yes, thank you, Madam Speaker. My understanding is that the YKDFN is in support of this, in fact it is one of the steps that is part of the boundary change where the city of Yellowknife is actually agreed to take land out of their municipal boundary and give it to the YKDFN, because right now the City of Yellowknife actually has quite a bit of their land in their land withdrawal in their boundaries, which I don't think is wanted or appropriate.
But I guess my question to the Minister is, you know, we have a new council coming in and they, this was very much an election issue as it has been an...
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, I guess just my last question is there any chance that the feds will give us any money for this? You know, maybe it seems like something CanNor would be interested in. It certainly will have a big economic impact on our minerals industry. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am not actually really sure who is the lead on transferring the land to the City of Yellowknife. I think that MACA kind of writes the process but then lands at the end of the day, you know, has to do the work of getting it over there. So my question is for I guess the Minister of Lands on when we can expect the bulk land transfer to the City of Yellowknife to be complete? Thank you
