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.

Committee Motion 371-19(2): Tabled Document 813-19(2): 2023-2024 Main Estimates – Legislative Assembly – Deferral of Department (Page 5), Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 147)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, my next question is in regards to both fees and payments for materials and supplies. There's a significant amount of fluctuation in both of those line items, and I'm wondering if there is a theme in either that speaks to what causes this fluctuation and if there's something if there's a reason for that? Thank you.

Committee Motion 371-19(2): Tabled Document 813-19(2): 2023-2024 Main Estimates – Legislative Assembly – Deferral of Department (Page 5), Carried
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 147)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if I understand the piece about coming back for a sup, but I'm wondering what is is this kind of the standard base because it is different from the main estimates from last year even, and if we know that we are having more fires and a longer season why that wouldn't be maintained? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if this is the area where Stanton Legacy would be found.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, when will Health have a better idea of what the move in day is because I know that, you know, summer is a season but it's a quickly approaching season, thankfully, even though we look outside and it's very chilly out it goes fast. Thank you.

Written Question 62-19(2): Sole Source Contracting for Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority under Procurement Criteria 1.8.2(a)
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a written question here entitled "Sole Source Contracting for Northwest Territories Health and Social Services under Procurement Criteria 1.8.2(a)."

Government contract regulations require that contracts be issued through a competitive process, unless they meet the regulatory requirements for sole source contracting. The GNWT can enter into sole source contracts based on narrow criteria. One of these criteria states that performance of the contract is urgently required, and delay would be injurious to the public interest:

What budgetary...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And can the Minister confirm when the opening day is for Stanton Legacy? Thank you.

Question 1433-19(2): Nursing Shortage
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I absolutely agree with the Minister. So I'm wondering, given the healthcare staffing shortage that we are experiencing as well in the Northwest Territories, and the pressure on primary care in health centres across the territory and, in addition to that, the availability of nurse practitioners to work alongside physicians, is the GNWT facilitating temporary certificates for all nurse practitioner graduates so that they can work while they're waiting for their national exam results? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to go back to my question from earlier. I'm wondering what amount is set aside for O and M for Stanton Legacy in this section? Thank you.

Question 1433-19(2): Nursing Shortage
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm very happy to hear that. That was going to be my next question for the Minister so that is wonderful news.

I'm wondering if the GNWT has also looked into potential LPN graduates that will be graduating this year as well and if there have been any conditional job offers offered to them as well. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 146)

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister and staff would have the resources within this budget to dedicate some of these dollars to creating like, whether it's a booklet or a portal or something where youth who are currently in care can see what supports they will get and/or could get when they are aging out of care because there's not a lot of transparency right now as far as what supports they are entitled to and can help them in their transition from care to independent living. Thank you.
