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.

Motion 56-20(1): Code of Conduct Referral to the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the conduct of each Member of the Legislative Assembly reflects not only on how the public perceives that Member but also how the public sees all Members and the institution. This is why we have a Code of Conduct. Residents of the Northwest Territories expect and will hold Members of the Legislative Assembly to a high standard when it comes to how we conduct our business inside and outside of this Assembly.

Comments made by Members outside this House can and sometimes do cross the line of what would be allowed to say in the proceedings of the Assembly or its...

Motion 55-20(1): Staffing Solutions to Rebuild and Reform Healthcare Now, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like many of my colleagues who have spoken before me, I do agree with the intent of this motion. I, too, am not certain why a working group is required when we have a very hardworking social development committee that the motion -- or the mover is a part of but perhaps he would like to speak to that later on.

I am also concerned that phasing out agency nurses without a wider national plan is something that we need to look at very carefully and therefore I'm very pleased to hear that the Minister is working on that file specifically.

And one thing that hasn't been...

Question 725-20(1): Northwest Territories Nominee Program
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will this program, as it's being redesigned, make reasonable allowances so as not to create an extension gap where people are put in limbo needing to extend their work permit and not be able to seek their PR? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member’s Statement 663-20(1): Northwest Territories Nomination Program
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to continue the line of questioning and talk a little bit about my constituency experience with the NWT nomination program.

The Minister yesterday expanded on some of what she is going to be going to Ottawa and advocating for on behalf of the program and our residents, including restoring the allocation to 300, engaging -- asking the federal government to engage directly with GNWT and NWT stakeholders, allow the GNWT to extend work permits for a two-year NWT-specific frame, and to enhance support for settlement services. These are all fantastic pieces...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I also wish to recognize CEO of the NWT Disability Council, Ms. Denise McKee, who is my constituent. Thank you for being with us here today.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And more of a brief comment, I certainly hope that the Minister does bring it back to us; however, I think it's also a great dataset to wrap up when she's asking for money for nation building infrastructure projects. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So would the Minister characterize the overages as all being similar since 2022 as the reason to why we would be coming back to the supps? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

No, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the Minister has predicted my questions.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Yeah, no, thank you, Mr. Chair. And that's fair if the Minister doesn't have that amount of detail with us right now. I'm just curious if it's a one-time cost but there's going to be a consistent need, is there any sort of planning going on to address that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Bill 26: An Act to Amend the Public Service Act, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think what we can all agree on is that the current Public Service Act is a mess. What we do not agree on is the road to fix it.

Nurses have described longstanding internal union governance issues. I believe those concerns to be real. They deserve a solution and to be supported as they find that solution for themselves and, crucially, they need to drive that change. They need to organize.

I believe that the Member for Yellowknife North saw this problem and wants to try her level best to address it; however, what truly needs to happen is something she is restricted from...
