Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 124)

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the Arctic Winter Games trials are for the Arctic Winter Games. It's like Team NWT. However, what the Member is asking is there's opportunity to piggyback on other regional events, other regional opportunities, then that is something that the regions and the communities work together on. So the money is for the communities to decide how they want to do it. We as the government and we as the department don't tell them well, you got to do hockey, you got to do this. Again, the recreation association, the communities work together, come up with a plan to...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

So we do have staff that works with the municipalities. We help them with the plan, see where their challenges are, and see how we can help them move forward. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

I want to say no but yes, we will.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

And I apologize if the since this Member isn't going to be there, we'll make sure this is, again, for future, this will be provided in every capital plan so people are aware and so they have opportunities to look at it before us being in front of the committee. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

Thank you. So, again, the Member's got the town of Inuvik's plan. That's their plan, and that's how they're doing it and how they're providing that information. The information that we're going to give to the Members, it's for them. Like, it's for their it's not for public consumption. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

So yes, so it's a long list. If the committee wants it, we can provide that list. There's like, there is everything the Member talked about is part of it. It's lifting homes, moving infrastructure within the homes up to another floor, looking at, you know, buy back of land and other items as well. So if that's what we have to do, then that's part of the mitigation plan process. So there is a long list and if the Member wishes to see the long list it's not exhaustive. It could be again, we could provide you what we have. But there could be exemptions or other stuff that we haven't thought...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

So my understanding the gap's about $20 million.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

Thank you. I don't know how to make it any clearer. We're working with NWTAC. We're working so that's 33 communities there. We are working to fix the policy. The policies the four policies will be going to committee. Committee will have that opportunity to look there. We're also looking to the federal government to see if they are able to help us. I have we've reached out to the two territorial Ministers already. We've had conversations. And, again, as I said, we're working with NWTAC and they're working with their sister organizations so we can work collaboratively to be able to address...

On my left is deputy minister Gareau.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 123)

So we're working with NWTAC, as I said previously. We're also working with our three or our other two territorial governments, Nunavut and the Yukon, to reach out to the federal government to talk about this. We're working collaboratively with NWTAC and their sister organizations on a plan we're trying to address. And when we look outside the box and inside the box, we are making the commitment to have four programs or policies that we have and they're going to be done this fiscal year. So it's going to be done, prepared, and working with them. So we are addressing this. We have 33...
