Déclarations dans les débats

Committee Report 38-18(3): Report on Transition Matters
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that Committee Report 38-18(3): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Transition Matters be received and adopted by this Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

On page 46, it says surface water management, phase 1. Is that the work just to help fix up the issues on the new airport? Is that what we are doing here?

Question 846-18(3): Continuing Care Facilities Legislation
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I appreciate the Minister for his answers. I have heard this from the Minister; he's already going to put something together for the new Minister coming forward. Would he try to encourage the department to reach out to the new Members of the 19th Assembly to get their input on this initiative before finalizing an LP, just to see what also might be out there? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 45, it's Fort Simpson LNG plant. Can the Minister just give us an update on the status of this project, please? Thank you.

Question 846-18(3): Continuing Care Facilities Legislation
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Can the Minister advise us if there is a timeline in mind for when this legislation might be coming forward?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister for providing that information. In regard to Jean Marie, we are not looking at a full-access road. What they are asking for is a number of locations. Is it something that they can use capital with, or is there funding out there aside from what is in this Infrastructure budget? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member's Statement on Seniors Aging In Place
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 89)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For seniors and elders, aging in place means having the health, social support, and services needed to live safely and independently in one's home or community for as long as one wishes and is able. There are many benefits for seniors and elders who are able to remain in their home and community as they grow older that helps them maintain as much independence as possible. They can continue to enjoy familiar settings and routines. As well, they can benefit from the friendships and relationships built over the years they have lived in their communities.

Mr. Speaker...

Committee Motion 243-18(3): Bill 45: Corrections Act – Amend Clause 40.1(5), Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 88)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that Bill 45 be amended by adding the following after subclause 40.1(5):

(6) On appeal under subsection (5), the Director of Corrections may confirm, quash, or reduce any period of separate confinement imposed by the adjudicator.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 242-18(3): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on the Review of Bill 45: Corrections Act – Government Response to Recommendations, Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 88)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends, to the extent it is possible before the dissolution of the 18th Assembly and for the public record, that the government provide a response to these recommendations, even of a preliminary nature, and that the committee may publicly disclose. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 240-18(3): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on the Review of Bill 45: Corrections Act – Security Assessment Tools, Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 88)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the security assessment tool used by the correctional service be objective, structured, and empirically defensible, and that a risk assessment tool that considers the unique realities of Indigenous inmates be developed and used. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
