Caitlin Cleveland

Députée de Kam Lake

Ministre de l’Industrie, du Tourisme et de l’Investissement
Ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation

L’honorable Caitlin Cleveland a été élue pour la première fois en 2019 en tant que députée de la 19e Assemblée dans la circonscription de Kam Lake; elle assume les fonctions de ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation et de ministre de l’Industrie, du Tourisme et de l’Investissement depuis 2023, après avoir été élue par acclamation à la 20e Assemblée législative.

En plus d’avoir possédé et exploité une entreprise dans le Nord pendant plus de 20 ans, la ministre Cleveland a occupé divers rôles en communication et en politique dans les secteurs public et privé avant de se lancer en politique.

De 2019 à 2023, elle a présidé le Comité permanent des affaires sociales, réalisant ainsi son objectif de participer aux discussions et aux décisions concernant les programmes sociaux des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Accomplissant un travail remarquable au sein du Comité, elle a notamment guidé le rigoureux examen des recommandations sur le logement aux TNO et des contributions qui y ont été apportées, et a participé aux efforts liés à la prévention du suicide, à l’amélioration de la prise en charge des enfants placés et au soutien des familles.

Dans le cadre de ses portefeuilles, la ministre Cleveland s’efforce d’aider les enfants à devenir des Ténois épanouis qui savent saisir les occasions qui s’offrent à eux et bâtissent des carrières fructueuses, contribuant à une économie en pleine croissance. Elle préconise la mise en place de nouvelles approches en matière de diversification sectorielle et d’innovation, et veille à ce que le Nord accueille à la fois des travailleurs étrangers qualifiés et attire des investissements dans les ressources en minéraux critiques du territoire. Elle est sans relâche en quête de solutions pour un accès efficace et équitable aux programmes et aux services, œuvrant pour une vision commune des TNO où l’on aide les résidents à vivre, travailler et s’épanouir à leur guise. 

La ministre Cleveland réside avec son mari et leurs trois enfants à Yellowknife, où elle vit depuis toujours.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would say more so that people are kind of waiting on the edge of their seats for is what the federal government plans to do with the offshore moratorium. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that level of detail from the diamond mines. But this would be everything, for example, from a one-person business operation to something as big as Tlicho Investment Corporation and beyond, who has hundreds of employees. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, our information has both the Dehcho and the Nahendeh included, and so in order to break out just the Member's communities I would need to follow up in writing, but would be happy to do so. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, absolutely, we want people to have access to information along with guidelines that they can access so we can certainly publish some information. And this information is currently available but, I mean, I am more than happy to -- understand what the Member feels is missing, but it's available on immigratenwt.ca. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'd be more than happy to provide information to the Member on total tourism operator licenses and the breakdown of Tlicho operators as well. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, it will be this Assembly, and we are working very hard to make sure that we are mitigating all of the risks to that. So, for example, one that was brought to my attention was the amount of time it takes to translate and as for official languages, we need to make sure that we have time built in to translate all of the regulations as well. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this is in regards to the staff of Diavik Diamond Mine that are employed by the mine. And so we've worked closely with Diavik to participate, for example in their career fairs, made sure that through our different available programs within especially ITI and ECE that mine workers are made aware of them and have our support of our staff to apply on them if they want to take advantage of them. Every time I do sit down with all of the diamond mines and speak with them, we talk about the importance of maintaining NWT residents as much as possible, and...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, traditionally we've had to ship all of our fish to Winnipeg through our agreement with the Freshwater Fish Marketing Act. By being able to have our own CFIA-approved fish plant, it means that we can do our exports on our own globally and that we're not locked into the FFMC fish prices by having to ship through their plant. So with these certifications, it means that literally the world opens up to the Hay River fish plant and the fishers that fish there. There are 93 commercial fishing licenses, I believe, and that's for the entire NWT. And as far...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, ensuring that we have a standard process across the territory so that we can support teachers in this work as well as supporting students. So step one is that standardized process that I was talking about for teachers. And then step two is adjusting our inclusive schooling directive to really meet students with where they're at right now. We know that that directive is a decade old and our students have changed tremendously in the last decade, including the supports that they need across the Northwest Territories. And making sure that that...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So there is publicly available reports that are available online but the reporting is currently behind. So the reports that are currently online are dated. Thank you.
