Kate Reid

Députée de Great Slave

Kate Reid a été élue députée de la circonscription de Great Slave à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest.

Mme Reid est née à Oshawa (Ontario) en 1981 et habite Yellowknife depuis 1989. Elle est titulaire d’un baccalauréat en journalisme de l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto (2003) et d’une maîtrise en sciences de l’information de l’Université de Toronto (2009).

À la fin de sa maîtrise, elle a rejoint les Archives des TNO, où elle a travaillé près de dix ans. C’est là qu’a germé sa passion pour la préservation et le partage des histoires qui peignent le portrait de notre territoire et de son gouvernement. En 2018, Mme Reid a pris un poste au ministère de l’Environnement et des Ressources naturelles et, dans le cadre de ses fonctions, elle s’est concentrée sur les questions de conservation et de développement durable dans les domaines législatif et politique, et ce, jusqu’à son élection comme députée.

Mme Reid a été présidente de la YWCA des TNO de 2021 à 2023 et de la section locale 40 du Syndicat des travailleurs du Nord en 2019 et de 2021 à 2023. Son leadership s’étend au domaine culturel, Kate Reid ayant été directrice de Folk on the Rocks, le festival de musique bien-aimé de Yellowknife, qui existe depuis longtemps. En outre, elle a contribué à des événements communautaires tels que NWT Pride, Yellowknife Pride et l’ancien spectacle d’art, Burn on the Bay.

En dehors de sa vie professionnelle, Kate Reid est mariée et trouve réconfort et inspiration dans toute une gamme de passe-temps; elle affectionne particulièrement la musique, l’art, le burlesque, le drag, le cinéma, l’haltérophilie et les voyages.

Déclarations dans les débats

Question 835-20(1): Streamlining Liquor Licensing
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to those updates.

Question 826-20(1): Gender-Affirming Care Navigation Support
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, as the Minister has mentioned, she sat down with the Northern Mosaic Network this past July, and at that time they requested that the Minister and the GNWT provide formal recognition that trans health is a priority and visible action to back that up at all levels from policy to frontline care. Would the Minister care to comment on this request at this time?

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Nothing further.

Question 813-20(1): Same-Day Healthcare Appointments
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Minister. I know she's working on a communication strategy of how to explain that to the public better.

Mr. Speaker, will we see reasonable accommodations to make sure that folks aren't standing outside in the cold for a same-day appointment this winter? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 813-20(1): Same-Day Healthcare Appointments
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I asked about same-day services this past March, I learned that there are 24 same-day appointments between the two Yellowknife clinics Monday to Friday and approximately 18 on Saturdays. Can the Minister clarify if that is for clinic appointments only or if those numbers include lab appointments, if those numbers are still accurate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think it's a very quick clarification question. This would be around the national strategy for drugs for rare diseases initiative with Canada. It's fully offset by Canada. My question to the Minister is whether or not this funding will help pay for folks who might have been fully addressed by our previous extended health care benefits on the schedule of specified disease list. If she has that amount of detail, I'd love to know. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Question 813-20(1): Same-Day Healthcare Appointments
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate that commitment from the Minister.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell me what steps are taken to fill empty spots that exist for same-day appointments with waitlisted patients, especially those with urgent and complex needs, such as elders and those with disabilities; and, if this isn't a thing, is there any contemplation of closing that gap. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 734-20(1): Wait Times for Primary Care
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 66)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, echoing my colleagues yesterday and, once more, I'd like to talk about same-day health services, including lab services, in Yellowknife. Far and away the most concerns I hear as an MLA are about trying to get same-day appointments, either for lab or for speaking with a health professional. There are a lot of threads to pull on with this persistent problem, and I have gone back and forth with the Minister many times as she and her staff continue to work through technical and procedural barriers to ensure fair and equitable access to health care for the...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 65)

Yes, I do. Thank you, Madam Chair. So for this line item, can the Minister explain if this also includes the folks who are living permanently in institutions in other jurisdictions for their care? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 65)

Thank you, Madam Chair. For out of territory services in the amount of $24,715,000, can the Minister speak to the over-expenditures and what is an average amount in any given year? Thank you, Madam Chair.
