Okay, thank you. Mr. Speaker, I move to set aside the ordinary business of the House to discuss calling upon the GNWT to ensure that Indigenous governments are involved in the GNWT's response to end the current wildfire management wildfire emergency. I think it's you now; do I continue, or?

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 161)

Okay. I just wanted to ask the Minister that, well, I do sympathize with evacuees, Behchoko and Wekweeti were also evacuated back in or in July, and I do recognize the hard work of the forest firefighters and first responders. According to the report, over 2 million hectares of land was burned. So I just wanted to ask the Minister, do we have an estimate of how much money is spent in the region as per to the forest fire? I know Behchoko and Wekweeti are part of the North Slave region. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's good to hear what my colleagues think of this, of the bill. Mr. Speaker, you know that everybody knows climate change is here. It's maybe it's here to stay, or it's going you know, it's going to be different next year. We're not too sure, you know. But at this time, we are dealing with hot and dry weather. Minister of ECC said on the news article in a newspaper that this year he knew it was going to be a dry and hot summer, yet we feel they did not do enough to fight the fire that went that, you know, like, that burned out of control.

Question 1569-19(2): RCMP Services
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 160)

Mr. Speaker, thank you. I believe yearround police presence in Gameti and Wekweeti is needed. Every time the visiting officers come, the community becomes quiet, and when they leave it becomes lively. The situation is especially hard on elders, you know. I just visited the community over there and the leaders have they expressed you know, they really want an RCMP station in Gameti and also the elders are having a hard time. It's having an impact on them. So therefore, can the Minister convey to the RCMP the desire for a stronger police presence in the Tlicho communities? Thank you.

Question 1569-19(2): RCMP Services
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 160)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Minister of Justice.

Mr. Speaker, I know that there are 21 RCMP detachments in the NWT. And the smallest NWT community with a population of 104 has a RCMP detachment so therefore I have a question for the Minister. This week we have been reviewing the supplementary estimates. There is $1.5 million to expand the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program. That's good. But, Mr. Speaker, I want to know does that funding include any new officers for Gameti or Wekweeti? Thank you.
