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 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, just wanted to have that info out in the public as it is a question I get. Thank you. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm sorry, I have a lot of paper here, please forgive me. So my question is can -- I think underneath this function is listed information services on page 199. So my question would be, to the Minister, if she can provide a status update on the electronic medical records program, what the timeline for completion is. And I'll stop there and follow up with the rest of my time. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, you know, it's already at the barn door, you can't close it in the past; I understand that. So what sort of forensic audit did the department do to try and seek out those records and indeed how did they cooperate with the OAG? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you for that. And I think graphic representations of conversations is a fantastic way to bring everybody in. But, you know, the other big theme I heard, and I know the Minister saw that, was that, you know, especially from youth, there's a lot of climate anxiety right now. So can the Minister explain what bold action he wants to see in his action plan that will address the concerns he's heard especially of our youth. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

I'm not from Alberta, but thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm committed to reminding the government to listen and act accordingly on what they hear from the residents of the NWT. So during their public engagement, many thoughtful and detailed ideas were shared with Members as well as government on ECC's draft climate action plan. Most concerning to me is an overwhelming groundswell of feedback requesting clear, plain language, and direct tangible actions.

So to the Minister, I recognize that there will be a What we Heard document coming out in the near future, but can the Minister...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. That's a little bit concerning to me considering there are entire regions missing off that list, notably South Slave and the Delta. Is there anything that we can be doing to seek out further pots? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just going to change line items for right now on my last five minutes here. I note on page 206, there is also mention of wastewater surveillance. The funding from Public Health Agency of Canada has ceased. Can the Minister please speak to how we are funding wastewater surveillance moving forward. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, I'll leave that there for now. I might have a different opinion than the Minister, but we can get into that tomorrow.

So could the Minister explain, then, the breakdown of the family violence prevention fund, where the $1.1 million goes to. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll just wait for you to restart the clock. Thank you so much.

So on page 206. (I need new glasses; I have an appointment). The family violence prevention fund is a contribution that the department makes I believe -- or receives, I should say, I think from wage, but maybe the Minister can just confirm.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess I'm thinking about it more from the business plan perspective which is where it's listed, so I was wondering if you could just give the House an update on that project even though it -- yes, it would be, I guess, in capital. Thank you.
