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.

Committee Motion 30-20(1): Deferral Motion – Tabled Document 111-20(1): Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And to kick this off, I just want to clarify if -- with the Minister if I have questions around ITI's economic vision and investment strategy, is this the right place? Yeah, okay, fantastic.

So in ITI's business plan, the economic vision to 2035 is spoken about as well as an investment strategy. Is the intent to create and release these documents sooner than later in the life of this Assembly? I'll start there, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, thank you for that clarification. But grants and contributions policies are generally used across government, so I hope there is some -- I hate this word -- synergies for the rest of the GNWT to at least maybe learn from your lessons.

The other question I have on this activity is what has made corporate costs jump a significant amount from the 2023-2024 Main Estimates? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in the department's business plan, there are quite a few actions that relate to the grants and contributions policy and the work that will be done to streamline and put all ITI's programs or applicable programs under that policy. I'm wondering if the Minister can elaborate on that work a little bit more and what she believes the timeline will look like. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister please speak to the decrease to the visitor information centres? I see here in 2022-2023, it was 161,000, and then it jumped in 2023-2024 to 411,000, and now it's down again to 296,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 30-20(1): Deferral Motion – Tabled Document 111-20(1): Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that. I did write in my notes "with partners" on both of these. So kind of anticipated that answer. And recognizing, of course, that the Minister doesn't want to speak for the partners of the GNWT too-too much on this one, I am still curious if the department has sort of handle on what kind of outputs or outcomes they're looking for from these documents. I'm assuming they'll be cornerstone documents. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

It's okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to deputy minister Strand for that as well. Can the Minister or her deputy minister please explain if the work that ITI is going to be conducting on this policy will be taken to the directors of policy for consistency across government? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Tabled Document 117-20(1): Union of Northern Workers Petition to Stop the Closure of the Men’s Unit at Fort Smith Correctional Centre
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table a petition titled Stop the Closure of the Men's Unit in Fort Smith, NWT, which does not strictly conform with our rules to be submitted as a petition. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 23)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I'm assuming, yes, that's a yes, it's due to the merger and also the reduction of printing costs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
