Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of 19 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 33)

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. With this plan, the protocol, the process, will this plan actually be sent to us or do we have to wait till we receive it in February when we're sitting again? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of 19 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. What cost has the department or the government paid to date for this facility? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of 19 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 33)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess my concern is we talked about lows of three and 18, and we're talking about rehabilitation as a priority and focusing on that.

I'm a bit concerned that we're going to spend a lot of money and it's going to become like the youth corrections here, in Yellowknife. So did the department look at that facility that was being built for the one that was built already and look at using that as the correction and then making a smaller young offenders home in Fort Smith? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 362-18(2): Nahendeh Ministerial Tour

Debates of 19 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 33)

I thank the Minister for his answer, and I understand he has a busy schedule so I appreciate that. Will he be able to make a commitment to potentially do this tour, work permitted, do it in January?

Question 340-18(2): Highway Maintenance Contract Near Wrigley

Debates of 18 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

I thank the Minister for his answer. Mr. Speaker, in the Deh Cho Drum, the Minister of Transportation commented: "Since 2005, the department helped build capacity through a range of negotiated contracts." Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please provide the House with some of the training the department offered to help build capacity in Wrigley since this time?

Debates of 18 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his answer. So warranty is done by the dealership. Just to clarify, it cannot be done by the companies in the Community of Fort Simpson? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of 18 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of 18 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do have one question. We have an update that's costing us a certain amount of money. How many more updates are we going to be looking at until 2024? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of 18 octobre 2016 , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm new to this process, so please bear with me as I go through it. I'm still struggling with some of these projects that have been out there. It seems to be not utilizing existing spaces that we have, and I will bring those concerns up later on when we look at each department. That is a concern. It's just a lot of money being used that could be used somewhere else, I firmly believe.

The other concern I have is the Department of Infrastructure. I've heard the Members here and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it because it doesn't exist, and so I don't know how the...
