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.

Question 279-20(1): Autism Supports
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 25)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am absolutely more than happy to sit down with anybody. That is one of our key jobs as Ministers, is we spend a lot of time in meetings making sure that we understand what it is that residents of the Northwest Territories are looking for. Thank you.

Question 279-20(1): Autism Supports
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 25)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the things that we have heard from education bodies across the Northwest Territories, and specifically people who are in the role of classroom support positions, is that they wanted to have a fuller toolbox to be able to help students. And so one of the programs that ECE worked with education bodies to put into place over the course of the last few years was training for classroom assistants through a partnership that was formed with Douglas College, which I look forward to speaking about more in the House this week, and we are just...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, to my left I have deputy minister Pamela Strand. And to my right, I have Nina Salvador who is the director of corporate management and finance.

Committee Motion 30-20(1): Deferral Motion – Tabled Document 111-20(1): Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it's an ITI policy, so it would be centered there, but as with most of our work we are always happy to share, especially when it is good news stories that are working well within the department. Thank you.

Committee Motion 30-20(1): Deferral Motion – Tabled Document 111-20(1): Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the subscription rate for the program, we have a budget of $1.5 million, and in 2022-2023 our actuals were $1.274 million. So while each year the program is fully subscribed, what ends up happening is there are monies that companies are not able to spend. Sometimes it can be due to, for example, wildfires. And they end up having to hand that money back to ITI. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, anybody who would like to be able to kind of travel that same road and put in an application to have their festival funded within the program would need to put in an application under the community economic development stream. So I would encourage anybody to go through and do that for sure. And if they want support in order to do that, they can go to their regional director -- or sorry, regional office, and our regions will definitely work with communities across the board in order to see what kind of funding can be sourced. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, yes, ITI/ECE does play a role along with ECC. ECC is the role. And for kind of the operational way that that looks within ITI, I would like to pass it to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the Member is absolutely right. It is two parks close to the proximity of Yellowknife that offer these long-term stay discounts. It's Prelude Lake and Reid Lake. Unfortunately, because those two long-term stays and the significant discount of them is prescribed in legislation, it's a longer change than simply a regulatory change which is much, much easier to do. Why those two landed in legislation back in the day, I'm not sure but they did. So I hear the Member and absolutely acknowledge what she is saying, but it is definitely a long-term tackle...
