Daniel McNeely

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my statement is on the Tulita Health Centre that's currently under construction, a very unique design building located in the central part of the community. However, the project has encountered numerous delays, and today we're proud to say it's got a deadline for completion.

The 18th Assembly approved this capital project some five years ago. After COVID delays, recent barging delays due to low water levels, constant delays have faced this project from moving ahead. I was proud to escort the Minister of ECC and the Minister of Health and Social Services there...

What is the wish of committee? The Member from Inuvik Boot Lake.

Thank you to the Member from Yellowknife North. Any further questions from committee? Seeing none.

The Department of Finance, Office of the Chief Information Officer, infrastructure investments, $5,068,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister Wawzonek. Member from Frame Lake.

Thank you. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks for this opportunity for another question. My question today is to the Minister of housing.

We have a beautiful building there in Tulita, the Tulita four-plex, that was transferred ownership to this government. It was designated for health staff but it's currently not ready and that ownership was transferred last -- the beginning of the summer. And I would like to know what measures is the housing Minister taking to make it occupied for the health staff so that'll release the current building for the teachers? Mahsi.

Thank you to the Member Yellowknife North. Minister Wawzonek.

Thank you, deputy minister McKay. We'll go back to the Member from Frame Lake.

Members, please return now to the Department of Justice summary found on page 62. Department of Justice, 2025-2026 Capital Estimates, $1,480,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that willingness to participate. I feel comfortable already that we'll have a safe discussion.

My next question: Will the Minister support more resources as similar actions taken last year during our January discussion to ensure that we have a suitable, durable road surface for the heavy truck traffic? Mahsi.
