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.

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.

Question 878-20(1): Assessment of Fiscal Capacity of Mine Operators
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Upon reflection, I am going to try and ask a question to ECC a different way.

Mr. Speaker, what process does the GNWT follow to understand the fiscal capacity of a mining company? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 870-20(1): Surety Bonds for Environmental Remediation and Reclamation
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's important that the GNWT and residents know the fiscal capacity of mining operators. I would like to understand and have the Minister explain the process that GNWT takes to assess whether a company is deemed to be an assignment which would require a test of financial capacity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 778-20(1): Mine Closure and Remediation in the Northwest Territories
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, all mines eventually close. Although there have been decades of closure planning exercises conducted with multiple owners, with each owner having less financial capacity than the last, there are now publicly available examples of Burgundy not being able to cover its expenses as we head to the closure of Ekati mine. Burgundy has requested extensions for all required regulatory submissions and is failing to carry out its required environmental monitoring as it cannot currently pay its contractors to complete inspection reports.

Mr. Speaker, I am not trying to...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

No, thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm done.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, and in some of the material provided to Members, I note -- I'm pretty sure I know which outhouse this is. I agree that it needs to be accessible. I'm kind of amazed it's lasted this long, for 20 years. However, I'm curious, can the Minister speak to how much this costs and why it's projected to be so much. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Report 33-20(1): Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges Report on the Review of the Rules of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that Committee Report 33-20(1), Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges Report on the Review of the Rules of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly, No. 2, be received by the Assembly and referred to Committee of the Whole. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 882-20(1): Dog Act Policy and Regulations
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister direct his department to work with communities to build capacity to develop and/or enforce pet containment rules and bylaws? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 882-20(1): Dog Act Policy and Regulations
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the MACA Minister.

If the GNWT is unable to fund NWT SPCA for crucial services, will it instead consider making spaying and neutering of pets mandatory with exceptions for licensed breeders and dog teams so to reduce the litters and pressure on the NWT SPCA? Thank you.

Question 870-20(1): Surety Bonds for Environmental Remediation and Reclamation
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Mr. Speaker, if a mining company declares bankruptcy and reclamation is now a responsibility of the GNWT, can the Minister explain which division or unit in the GNWT would be assigned this work to reclaim the mine and any associated expenses? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 870-20(1): Surety Bonds for Environmental Remediation and Reclamation
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of ECC.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister explain as to whether the GNWT still considers surety bonds a reasonable fiscal instrument for mining reclamation, or are they being phased out for more solvent instruments in case of company bankruptcy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
