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.

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 366-20(1): Government of the Northwest Territories Public Service Employee Services
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's some tentatively possibly good news. When it was last mentioned in the 2022-2023 annual report, the leadership development program was on a hiatus since July of 2020 and an expected new option was to launch this year, Mr. Speaker. So can the Minister tell me the status of this program? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I would like to know if the Minister can explain how she sees the timelines of this particular environmental assessment aligning with the regional strategic environmental assessment that is underway. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member’s Statement 376-20(1): Public Service
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I care deeply about the public service as a past public servant and active local union president. I also recognize that the public service makes up a lot of the working population of this territory. And, yes, the numbers of total GNWT staff have gone up dramatically in recent years. The increase incurs in critical functions that we all rely on like health care and education supports. But the other thing we don't talk about as much is that through collective bargaining, people in precarious employment terms or casuals were made permanent. The increase reflects employees...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, if the Minister could provide some information to committee on that, that would be greatly appreciated. And, yeah, I don't know if I agree with her characterization that these are small amounts of money, especially when we're looking for every little bit of money we can. So I'll just leave that as a comment. Thank you.

Committee Motion 44-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Education, Culture and Employment – Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And can the Minister speak more to why some of the projects in some of the communities or facilities have not yet been defined; why are we asking for money for projects that aren't yet defined? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, yeah, sorry, I'm a newbie too. Would the Minister be willing to give a substantiation of this project? Thank you.

Committee Motion 43-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Municipal and Community Affairs – Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister. I hope that we do have some school boards listening so that they can also reach out. I know there are many schools in our fine capital that are looking for projects like this, including in YK1. So it's more of a comment than a question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 45-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Infrastructure - Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, I will take away some further comments to the Minister. Nothing further at this time.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that. I recognize that, and I'm glad that she used accessibility in her answer. As she recalls from yesterday, I did ask the Minister of Justice about an accessible washroom and, as the Minister's well aware, the folks behind the parent advisory committee for Sir John are seeking an accessible and gender-neutral washroom in that school. Could the Minister speak to how she is prioritizing that requested project that is an accessibility project. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
