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.

That's all right. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 14, there is funding to support an increase in utility costs at 3.7, almost $3.8 million. I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to a substantiation on this noting which regions saw spikes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have no issue with this; I just want to know more and understand more. I see it's fully offset by the Government of Canada. Can the Minister, please, explain what the high resolution airborne geophysical survey for critical minerals is. Thank you.

Thank you. So just for clarification, the folks who helped on the surge response for the outbreak, their salary is then costed to this item? Thank you.

Question 473-20(1): Northwest Territories Early Learning and Childcare Agreement
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 41)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for that. One option that has been floated to me by the board member of this operator is possibly asking families to have a membership fee, but that doesn't seem to be allowed by the regulations. Is that something that the Minister could contemplate? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 465-20(1): Northwest Territories Early Learning and Childcare Agreement
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 41)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding -- and I've highlighted this to the Minister already -- that this operator is concerned that the ELCC staff at ECE are -- you know, not in great contact with this operator. Can the Minister work to resolve this? Thank you.

Question 465-20(1): Northwest Territories Early Learning and Childcare Agreement
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 41)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister explain what part of the agreement with the federal government for affordable childcare doesn't allow larger operators for making financially sound decisions like growing reserve fund or modest salary increases for workers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 41)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, yeah, I guess I just wanted to dig a little deeper on that. I would have expected this might have been the Sahtu with the pressures they've been facing but it's interesting to hear it's across more regions than just that.

So for edging into close to $4 million, much like previous questions in our committee this afternoon, I'm curious what kind of budgeting estimates have been perhaps not been adequate for our needs and anticipating maybe inflationary pressures to see such an increase? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hoorah, keep going. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, no, I would appreciate seeing that if it could be provided as well as the costing around the additional lab work, x-rays, and travel that the Minister mentioned. It just seems like an awful lot of money for a short amount of time but perhaps with more information, I'll be able to understand that better. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.
