Committee Motion 239-18(3): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on the Review of Bill 45: Corrections Act – Prioritization of Work Programs, Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 88)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Justice prioritize work programs that are responsive to community needs, subject to necessary safety and security restrictions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Motion that Committee Report 33-18(3) be Moved to Committee of the Whole, Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 87)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Various experts submitted that the bill did not adequately provide and protect offenders with specific mental health needs or disabilities. Committee agreed that the bill should go further to address some of the challenges faced by inmates. Motions 9, 14, 16, 20 and 24 in Appendix A, developed in collaboration with the Minister, each contain provisions that provide for additional services or the reasonable accommodation of inmates with specific needs, such as those with illnesses, injuries, disabilities or for whom the English language or literacy is a challenge.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your Standing Committee on Social Development is pleased to provide its report on the review of Bill 45, Corrections Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 87)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be real quick and short. I don't support a carbon tax. I don't. I don't think it is great. It has an impact on Northerners. Unfortunately, the federal government has come up with it and said, "You either come up with one, or we will impose one." Therefore, I had to make a hard decision based on the information provided to me in this House. I will, as I told the Minister, support this bill. It is about Northerners. For me, it is about my elders who I represent. By allowing the federal government to just put carbon tax onto diesel fuel, we are going to see less...

Committee Motion 213-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act – Amend Clause 1 to replace definition of "settlement Lands", Carried
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 87)

Thank you. Can I get clarification from the law clerk on where land claims where the settlement is not done would be fitting into this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 833-18(3): Recycling in Nahendeh
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 87)

I appreciate the Minister for his response here today. My final question for the Minister here in regards to this concern that I have brought forward is: will the Minister work with his department to look at establishing a pilot project in Simpson and work with the village and the band in the region there to develop a paper and cardboard recycling program?

Question 833-18(3): Recycling in Nahendeh
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 87)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today I did a Member's statement about recycling and that. I have some questions for the Minister responsible for ENR: has the Department of ENR looked into the possibility of developing a paper and cardboard recycling facility for regional centres across the NWT?
