Member’s Statement 1614-19(2): Truth and Reconciliation
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is tomorrow. It signifies a time of the year when Indigenous children were taken from their homes and placed in residential school. The mission was to take the Indian out of the child. We must honour all these children, the residential school survivors, the children who never returned home, as well as their parents, grandparents, families and communities.

Wearing orange is to remember these children and to acknowledge the impacts on Indigenous families and communities.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all people to reflect on...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Yes, thank you. Yes, there's 165 units that's being retrofitted, and three in Tlicho region and with highest population of all the small or of the Indigenous communities. I mean, that is a shame because it's really sad that, you know, some of our homeless populations, when that warming shelter is at its capacity, that they walk over to the RCMP station and check themselves in. I mean, that's wrong. You know, like, I mean it is sad. It's really sad. I don't like that. So I just yeah, and I know that she did say that there is some this current or this past current fiscal year, but there were...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 164)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, thank you. Thank you for the information. And it's good to know. And I just wanted to note that for next fiscal year, will the Minister commit to create, you know, our own Tlicho region, part of their budgeting, so that way we will know, you know don't include us in the North Slave because North Slave includes Yellowknife and, you know, Tu NedheWiilideh's riding, my neighbour, my colleague here. And then, you know, we need to get away from North Slave. We need to have our own region or our own so that way we will know, you know, how much is being spent to Tlicho...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 163)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I see here as capital estimates, it would be nice that, you know to see Tlicho region in this as well because there's North Slave region at 22 percent. I would like to know how much money is going to be spent in Tlicho region. It doesn't have anything like that here. I see the roads. It's $94 million. And I'm grateful, thankful that, you know, Frank Channel Bridge is on there. But Frank Channel Bridge is a benefit for the Northwest Territories.

And I'm kind of a little bit disappointed because for the school, it says $3 million. Like, we have a lot of...

Question 1590-19(2): Transmission Line to Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 163)

I did ask that, you know, when that construction is expected to complete and how much it's going to cost. So the next question is that will this be part of the Tlicho infrastructure agreement? Will it include subcontractor and support services. Thank you.

Question 1590-19(2): Transmission Line to Whati
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 163)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is for infrastructure. Mr. Speaker, my colleague mentioned the Whati Transmission Line. Could that Minister please provide an update; we haven't seen any update or anything like that with SCEDE. So I just wanted to ask the Minister about that. Thank you.

Question 1590-19(2): Transmission Line to Whati

Not just to me, but to the SCEDE would be much appreciated. When is the construction expected to be complete, and how much is it going to cost? Thank you.

Member’s Statement 1595-19(2): Wildfires
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 163)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the NWT has faced a truly historic wildfire season. This has put all of our communities at risk, tested all of our communities, and displaced 70 percent of the entire population. This has also shown how vulnerable we are. I want to first talk about my communities, but I recognize that this has impacted all residents of the NWT in some way. We will need to further discuss what has happened here and make sure this does not happen again.

Mr. Speaker, Fire No. ZF015 which began in Awry Lake area spread to Behchoko, and towards Yellowknife. This fire destroyed...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 162)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, we have to think about 30 years ago, you know, like, prior to prior to 1994, there wasn't too many jobs. Maybe there was a lot of jobs in Delta but in Tlicho region, we didn't have a lot of jobs until the mining company came. That's where right now we have a lot of our people that are employed, or since the mine opened, we have a lot of our people are working there. They have employed. And currently, there's a lot of young people working, and I know there's a lot of people that retire, and it really did help a lot of our members. Not just from my community, from...
