Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 155)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will again like to bring attention to the importance of creating a Tlicho region.

Mr. Speaker, currently, the GNWT is divided the Northwest Territories GNWT is divided into five regions. They are the Deh Cho, North Slave, Delta, and South Slave region. Then the population of the North Slave region is 23,144. The population of the Deh Cho is 2,073 while the Sahtu region is 2,500. If the Tlicho is carved out of the North Slave region, the population would be 2,650. Mr. Speaker, let me point out that if Tlicho region was created, the population would be...

Question 1515-19(2): Transparency of Corporate Registeries
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 154)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The reason why I ask that is that because in the NWT we have a good system in place, you know, for societies. But when it comes to corporations for profit, we don't have any information. We don't know who owns what businesses, etcetera, and there's no requirement. And I just wanted to know why, you know. So what is the purpose of keeping this information private? How do we ensure many of these business owners or these businesses are truly living and working in the NWT? Thank you.

However, Mr. Speaker, when it comes to corporations, the access to important information is not available. The...

Thank you. I know that to revive our language, it is important for all of us in small communities and I know that there's great effort made in, like in Yellowknife. But I'm not too sure about I know all of the all of our language are in danger, according to the report that I heard.
