Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to recognize the page from Yellowknife North, Mr. Logan Doll. You're doing a great job, thank you

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you I see we have $100,000 for the mineral and administration and registry system, also known as the MARS system. I believe this is the software necessary to give us online map staking the minute the regulations are in force. Can I get, well, get confirmation that that's true and when we can expect to have online map staking.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Yes, okay. I think that does answer my question. So, and the reason I don't see that here is because the estimated completion for that is this fiscal, and we are on budget and on time for Stanton Legacy opening at the end of this fiscal and spending this $40 million or whatever the number 40 something million dollars that it costs, is that correct? Thank you

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I am just kind of now we have this new approach to budgeting. You know, if you look at the last three years, we spent $30 million, $40 million, $40 million, $7 million this year. So there's been a radical drop in spending on longterm care. And then I look over at the list of projects, and three are in planning. But which I get is why there's way less money here, I think we kicked some for planning. But can I just get a sense of the so this current fiscal that we're in right now, we're spending $40 million, and I assume some of the previous fiscal's carried over. But...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you. And my understanding is that we've actually awarded some contracts and some of this has already been tendered for the original location. Do we have a number of how much money we have already spent to date on this project?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you. I see that there's potential for ICIP funding, and I heard that we were making a decision there. Can I get a somewhat answer of how much ICIP funding we're expecting, and if we can't get a dollar amount, is it a 75 percent expectation of capital funding? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Can I get well, this says 20242025 for completion, you know, which I assume would mean construction, you know, next fiscal, probably pretty soon. Can I just get an update of when the estimated completion for this project is or whether we're on track and on time, on budget. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

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...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

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...
