Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

The commitment was to do the research, not do the job? Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Previously, I've asked the Minister about setting up a recycling depot or terminal or whatever you want to call it, distribution centre, for the region. Can the Minister advise if there have been any further conversations about setting up a distribution centre; not a depot but a distribution centre? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the budget, we talked about a feasibility study for northern sustainability and community resilience, $150,000 under it as an initiative. In the business plan, on page 60, it says that it has been fulfilled. Can the Minister explain how this happened, or if this has been fulfilled or not? It is $150,000 in the budget.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am not worried. I greatly appreciate the Minister providing this information because, again, when we have news coming out and saying things and we have these researchers, that is why I was asking the question. Is our staff working with the Aboriginal population, using traditional knowledge? At the end of the day, that is where we do things. I just wanted to make sure that we were following that practice. I greatly appreciate that. Again, elders are very wise. The reason why they are there is they have lived a long time and they know a lot of stuff. I know, in my riding...

That is great to hear. Since the training has started and is individualized, which is great, has the department and the staff started to work on reviewing these files?

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you. I am assuming that the Nahanni Population is by Nahanni Butte and Fort Liard. Correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 651-18(3): Equity Leases
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Previously, I was asking questions to the Minister responsible for Lands about equity leases and that. They were talking about positions and stuff like that. Can the Minister please advise us: have all the positions been filled at this point in time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to this section here, bison management control and developing plans there, can the Minister advise: have they been looking at the herd around Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Member's Statement on Fort Simpson Territorial Park Interpretive Storytelling Area
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to celebrate a very impressive addition to the Fort Simpson Territorial Park. In previous years at the park, Deh Cho ITI parks division heard concerns that the area around the kitchen facility did not have a gathering area where guests could meet and socialize. The manager of tourism and parks, ITI, attended to this concern by developing a vision with a community manufacturer, PR Contracting. After developing the vision, PR Contracting worked on a fire pit design that would depict Deh Cho wildlife while also including a seating and gathering arrangement.
