Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

Thank you. As the deputy minister said previously, we are working on a "what we heard" report. The deadline for response is February 10th. But also as the deputy minister has said, we have other programs out there that we've heard from the users of the program, which is our Indigenous governments and our harvesters and our people in the communities, on what they would like to see. So we are working on it, and I think if I remember correctly, we're supposed to have something prepared by midsummer to bring forward. And for further detail, I'll just ask the deputy minister to clarify if I missed...

For that detail, deputy minister. Thank you.

Question 924-19(2): Alberta Tar Sands Tailings
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, we're working as best we can with the Member. We're trying to get that information. He may not want it he may want it details down to the ground. We don't have that information right now to share. We're willing to share that information.

In regards to his question, ENR is working on our bilateral water management agreement and its bilateral management committee to get regular updates, reports, and information, etcetera, from the Alberta government. Alberta has assured the NWT that it has retained a team of highly qualified independent experts to fill...

Yes.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Member for that. I can guarantee you we're going to do public consultation. We also have the process with IGCs that we are working with that through that process. But for the detail on exactly how we're going to do it, I will, with your permission, turn to the deputy minister to answer the rest of the question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

Thank you very much. Right now we feel this is the money that we need to move forward with my deputy minister put her hand up. So I should look at her, and I'd get her to clarify that. Thank you.

Question 924-19(2): Alberta Tar Sands Tailings
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the Government of Alberta is focusing on impacts immediately downstream from the oil sands region to the Old Fort. Their assessment and modeling does not extend into the NWT. Based on the outcome from the risk assessment on initial model, they will consider extending their model to the PeaceAthabasca delta. The GNWT will request further modeling if the results are of a concern for us. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

I'll just go to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

So in the Deh Cho, we had flooding. We addressed those already. We've already dealt with it. But, again, I can't tell you what's going to happen, predicted, like if it's going to be there. So we feel right now with our budget we are close to being able to do it and move forward on it. But if we have a bad flood season as we did last year, then we may have to come back again. But right now, we feel that with the money we have allocated in the budget, we should be able to meet the needs moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 95)

For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister. Thank you.
