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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't want to reiterate all of my colleague from Frame Lake's comments around the legislative slate for the department. Obviously, this is very important to the committee, and I would just echo those sentiments. But other than that, nothing else for me, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So in the supplementary, in regional operations, there is $1.893 million to provide funding for contractual obligations associated with the base rent and operations and maintenance for GNWT-leased facilities. I assume that just means office space on the whole. But maybe the Minister can speak to how they are addressing this ongoing cost pressure challenge. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is $1.095 million for repair costs associated with the Deh Cho Bridge. Could the Minister please provide a substantiation around what those repair costs entail. Thank you.

So just to be very clear, the department expects that those regulations will be passed by 2028? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So was the GNWT's estimate of uptake of the vaccines lowballing, I guess, for lack of a better term? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I believe that ECC is projecting aN approximately $462,000 decrease for policy legislation, evaluation, and communications. Can the Minister speak to the substantiation behind that reduction? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. There is another item under this activity where $348,000 is allotted to provide funding for the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines. And I am wondering if this cost overrun was due to the fact that some orders were invalid in transport and more had to be repurchased. I know that in the flu and COVID vaccine clinics, there was a sort of pause in being available -- the availability of the COVID vaccine last fall. And I am wondering if this is a shortfall addressing that particular issue. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. And, you know, I appreciate that we've talked about this in committee with various Ministers, notably the finance Minister, that many things are off-cycle with agreements. Is there absolutely any way that there's more projections that are -- more accurate projections that can be accomplished in this avenue, especially in this department? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
