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.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Nothing else for me.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And as the Minister knows, and she has graciously offered to sit down and meet with me soon, the legislative initiative for the Archives Act is no longer on the initiatives list, and I am wondering if she can provide some substantiation around that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when will further details on the 2026 intake be available for my constituents, including an actual March day? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you. So our contribution is fully just the piece that she spoke to earlier, be it supplies, that sort of thing. Thank you. I am getting a nod, so I will stop there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of ECE. As she knows, I am very passionate about the NWT nominee program. Can the Minister please tell me what is the anticipated 2026 allocation for spaces in the nominee program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wish it was an enhancement but oh well.

I will let other Members speak to some maybe high -- high interest issues. But I do have one final question in my time allotment, which is there is a $2.4 million adjustment to the school funding framework contribution requirements such that incremental funding will temporarily replace Jordan's Principle funding. What does this adjustment include? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier elaborate if future plans for service integration and, indeed, those service delivery teams will dovetail or overlap, where appropriate, with the work of EIA to strengthen relationships with NGOs that provide crucial expertise in social service delivery? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And further to the Minister's comments, then, how does ECE ensure that mental health supports are integrated into these exercises that are happening regularly so that you -- students, especially young students, understand what is happening and feel supported before and after these drills? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Happy Louis Riel Day. But that's not my statement, Mr. Speaker.

I am tentatively optimistic with the direction that the GNWT is taking on integrated service delivery. The predecessor to this approach, integrated case management, was praised in an external review of the social return on investment of that program that was tabled in the 19th Assembly. Plainly put, meeting people where they are at and assisting them to find their way through social service supports pays off, not only for individuals and families, but incidentally also for government. I am also encouraged to...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. No, I appreciate the Minister being forthright about that. And what I would say is I think there is a lot of support in this House to make sure that this particular function is adequately funded no matter which way you slice it. And that's more of a comment than a question. I will stop there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
