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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Was that lawyer position vacant or hard to hire? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 80)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and sorry about earlier. I think I am in -- so when it comes to the access and privacy office in Justice, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has noted that he doesn't believe that that office is appropriately resourced so that it can reliably assist public bodies in meeting their legally required deadlines. Closure rates for ATIP requests improved from 65 -- or sorry, closure rates have improved -- sorry, have not improved. They've sort of decreased in terms of legislative timelines. And I am curious, does the department have plans to improve the ATIP...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So in the spirit of collaboration, would the Minister be willing to come and give committee a public briefing on all of the good work that's happening and so to give the public an understanding of what to expect in timelines? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 80)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the 2026-2027 Budget Address points to a shifting and uncertain landscape in geopolitics, one of which we are all acutely aware. Anyone paying attention to world events knows that chaos is not a way to govern, not a way to build relationships and partnerships, and not a way to seize opportunities headed our way. And contrary to the fictional philosophy, chaos is not a ladder.

Difficult challenges require an analytic, coherent, and integrated approach. I proudly put NWT residents, their good ideas, and data-driven decision-making first, and that foundation...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Legal division has a not insignificant decrease from last year's mains to this year's mains. Can the Minister please provide substantiation as to why? Thank you.

Oh sorry, I was just scratching my head, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 80)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, for those of the public who follow along with Committee in the Whole, they may have recognized that we had some confusion around the airport revolving fund the other night, Mr. Speaker, and so my questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure.

With the proposed incoming investment to the Yellowknife airport and the, admittedly, likely large pressures that will put on the airport and our planning, does the Minister have anything he's willing to share at this point around what we can expect to see for proactive planning to set the airport up for success for...
