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.

Déclarations dans les débats

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And considering the target in the later part of the fiscal year, is it, then, expected to be an LP before the end of this Assembly? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I will always enjoy more detail. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In your estimates, there is $300,000 identified to develop a legislative initiative to broaden regulated gaming activities in the NWT but no positions created. So my question to the Minister is what this funding is to be used for and what is unique about this work that needs the funding but no position. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, yeah, no, I can appreciate that and I don't want to get into the weeds of something that's not yet before us. But I appreciate the Minister is interested in tracking data over time and success of any actions such as evictions over time. So more of a comment, and I am happy to follow up with the Minister later. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Yeah, thank you. And, you know, further down that sort of avenue of thought that my colleague was going to earlier today, we heard at the biomass summit -- which was, you know, grateful that the GNWT was a funder of that summit -- that community energy planning is, indeed, core and crucial to help communities assess what it is that they think they want to do in that space, how they can grow energy reliance and self-sufficiency in that space. And so I would argue that that's a good thing to fund, and I hope that it does get reinstated. However, I know the Minister is not going to speak about...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will stay on the same general topic. I am curious if justice tracks the number of evictions executed by the sheriff's office. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister and staff for that. I do recognize that regional operations are run by superintendents, and those folks are very in touch with Yellowknife on a regular basis; however, I mean, I am curious, though, that, like, you know, if -- there was a very strong push in the 19th Assembly, I recognize, but I would hope that this work continues to move more regionally-based decision-making into the regions. And so is that something that the department continues to contemplate in its HR planning as it moves forward? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Nothing more. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, within that context -- and it's important context -- can the Minister explain, especially with regards to the relationship with the major projects office -- pardon me, can the Minister comment on capacity challenge to manage multiple major projects. Obviously there's more than just Taltson on our plate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate it. Sorry to make the confusion.

Can the Minister please tell me whether the work that's being anticipated around the Building Standards Act if there are going to be additional cost pressures on smaller communities or if there would be -- if there's contemplation of exemption requests for increases to building standards in the legislative initiative. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
