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.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we're certainly live to that and live to the increase in traffic expected, and we're definitely optimistic about identifying more suitable space and we are also, at the same time as working through this information, proactively working on identifying additional spots within town. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm certainly willing to provide the information to the Member and provide the information of what that might look like and examine the options that we have at our fingertips in order to see what the future holds for this slip. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, in 2024-2025 is the completion of the conceptional design access road engineering. There's also the site survey in addition to community consultation. And then in 2025-2026, we would have the building of the access road, gate installation as well. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the Member is right, that we did work with Department of Fisheries and Oceans, their small craft harbours division, in order to do a feasibility study. Part of that study was an environmental site assessment phase 1 and phase 2. The feasibility study that was conducted by fisheries and oceans found that the location didn't adequately fulfill the needs of the GNWT, and so we are currently working with both Infrastructure and ECC on next steps on that one. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I believe that it is year-round, but I want to -- if you wait two seconds, I've got a staff member typing. But yes -- yes, we have summer -- or staff on site in the summertime and so this would be for the additional months but certainly would have them up all year-round, and they would be in place and able to afford us information year-round. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 35)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that information but I'm hoping that it's going to pop up on my screen. Unfortunately, I don't know the cost per slip annually for a slip at Prelude Lake. But if I can get that information, I'd be happy to share it with the Member.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 34)

Mr. Speaker, when students have food security, they can focus on learning, growing, and participating within their school communities; and most importantly, on being kids. To help students succeed, the Government of Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories are working towards signing a three-year funding agreement that will support the expansion of the NWT school food program: Healthy Food for Learning.

Once signed, this new agreement will provide a significant and important boost to the program, creating real results for students and families across the territory. Since 2015, the...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have indicated to the college that I am certainly keen to receive their list of priorities and also understand what it is that they need and what years that they do need them so that I can further community that as well to my colleagues. And for potentially further information, I'd be happy to share the floor with the deputy minister through yourself.
