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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of questions. Regarding the organ and tissue donation onetime costs, has this been paid to Alberta already? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 214-18(2): Highway No. 7 Resurfacing Contract
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 19)

It looks like I’m going to have a set of questions tomorrow for the Minister on this as well. In the letter and the correspondence I received from the Premier and the Minister they talked about the companies being on a level playing field. However, Mr. Speaker, the economic reality in the NWT is contractors are not on the same playing field with contractors who come from outside of the NWT. Mr. Speaker, is the Minister aware of any barriers facing companies from the North bidding on work in BC? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 92 there was a biomass energy tariff. There was $150,000 taken out. Could the Minister please explain why this was reduced if we're talking about biomass as an alternative way of doing energy? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Probably the deputy minister is going to have to explain how they're more efficient in fighting fires with a four-man crew compared to a five-man crew. If you have five people you're going to…

Question 185-18(2): Construction Schedule for Charles Tetcho School in Trout Lake
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 17)

I thank the government, Mr. Speaker and I thank the Minister for his answer. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell the House how the department is going to address such issues as safety of the site and the noise level during school hours that will impact on the students?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is this wildfire risk management plan that what we're talking about here, or is there another section within this department? Thank you.

Question 185-18(2): Construction Schedule for Charles Tetcho School in Trout Lake
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I received an email from Sambaa K’e First Nation council in Trout Lake, district of education party, regarding concerns about Charles Tetcho School expansion. Mr. Speaker, construction is scheduled to start in February 2017 and is going until the school year ends in June 2017. They feel that there is no space in the community that will accommodate all the school-aged students during this time and they’re concerned that the students are going to miss out a lot of school while the construction is occurring. Mr. Speaker, they feel it is going to be...

Member’s Statement on Congratulations to Echo Dene School Graduates
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we get near to the end of the school year, grade 12 students are looking back on the years past in the school, as well as looking forward to the next phase of their life. Echo Dene School in Fort Liard will celebrate their graduation on Thursday, June 9th at 6:30 p.m. I have been invited to attend and I’m very proud to say that I’ll be attending. Unfortunately, this means that I will not be in the House tomorrow, so some of you Ministers will not get any questions from me. That may make you happy. Mr. Speaker, I’m proud to say that I know all these three gentlemen...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank Mr. Campbell for his answer. Because I guess I was a little confused because when we looked at the reductions on the activities on page 93 for staff there's no reductions at all, so it is a vacancy. I thank him for that answer. Regarding grants and contributions, I noticed a reduction of $150,000. Can you explain the rationale for this reduction? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
