Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am aware of my time here, so I will try to be succinct with my comments. Great job with the 80 with the progressive experience. Even a better job with the 24 with related experience, which is in the health care system, which is great. Well done. But we are missing other fields, and we are missing this opportunity. I am not talking about all students coming back north. I am talking about our P1s, and our P2s, which are our priorities as government. That is what we should be looking at doing. I am hoping that we can hear something from you guys that we can talk about it...

Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just five or six agreeable questions. The first one is when we talk about human resources planning. Has the government looked at talking about summer employment? I realize each department has priority or has to make the decision. But can the Minister please provide a commitment or a working tool so that it becomes part of our mandate or our policy that we will look at employing summer students and that we have a goal in each department and every department is given a goal so that they can fulfil that mandate so that we see summer students come back so that we show that we...

My last question potentially on this page. I notice in travel more than 50 per cent is cut, so could they explain what the reduction in travel is and how this cost-saving measure is going to be implemented. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This purchased services the reduction to 135, is this actual historical or is this a reduction in services? Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you. Directorate, there was a $231,000 decrease in it. Was that also part of the policy and communication or was some savings elsewhere? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I get this correct, we lost three positions, now we're reallocating money here, and are these contract services doing the work of these three positions or is it other contracts that are going to be done? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 157-18(2): Small Community Funding in New Build Canada Plan
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

Mr. Speaker, I know that he's my favourite Minister. It seems this week I seem to be asking him a lot of the questions. Next week, I'll find another one, maybe. Well, finance is next week, too. Sorry, he'll be back.

---Laughter

In the Minister's statement, he spoke about how Municipal and Community Affairs will issue a call for the funding applications in the coming weeks and will support community governance through the Canada application and approval process. Can the Minister please explain what the department means by supporting community governance with this process? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 157-18(2): Small Community Funding in New Build Canada Plan
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 14)

I was getting excited, there. $100,000, I don't think we could afford to use this program at all. I thank the Minister for that answer. As a federal program, there is a cost-sharing component to access them. Can the Minister provide the House with: what is the cost-share for this program in the communities and/or GNWT?
