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 79)

That's all. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

I don't have anything further on this item for now. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, so it's my understanding that the PASR fund has faced ongoing challenges because lottery revenues have dropped. And the reason the GNWT is funding is to sort of maintain, I guess, equilibrium for that fund so we can support athletes and coaches, which is good. But is there anything the Minister is willing to talk about here today that the department is looking to do to address this ongoing problem? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, I appreciate that clarity and that update. I've been hearing a lot of Members talk about relief for seniors, so thank you. Nothing further at this time.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, yeah, I appreciate that detail. What I think we hear from many Members in this House and this Assembly, and past Assemblies going back quite a ways, is the frustration around the lack of a child and youth advocate. We have seen positions lapse in the Office of the Children's Lawyer, and I am just curious if the Minister and his staff are tracking demand for those services and, indeed, demand for services of a -- like, function for the GNWT considering that it's something that we are hearing from our constituents, and I am curious if he's hearing it as well. Thank you...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for clarifying.

I note, too, in your business plan that one of the legislative initiatives listed is the Senior Citizens and Disabilities Person Property Tax Relief Act. There is a target for 2026-2027. Could the Minister clarify if that target is for an LP or to introduce the bill. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So in the program detail, each of the line items, save except for the Office of the Children's Lawyer, which remains static, in the 2025-2026 Main Estimates to the revised estimates, all of the totals go up, some slightly, some not fairly -- fairly significantly, and then again for these main estimates they have dropped back down. And I guess I am just looking to understand the general budgeting approach that the department takes here considering that it seems like the need for all of these line items is higher and the budget is, again, lower. So just looking for some...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I cede my time.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 79)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And in the suite of public safety legislation coming forward to us this year, such as SCAN and the Residential Tenancies Act review that has been pushed a little bit to the back burner but, you know, I think is still very much a consideration for this Minister, will it be looking to track more data about -- will any legislation be looking to track more data about evictions and trends over time and if not, in a statute in interest and policy that the department has? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
