Biographie Vince McKay a été élu député de la circonscription de Hay River Sud à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest.

Vince McKay est né le 17 septembre 1977 dans la ville pittoresque de Hay River. Sa carrière s’étend sur une période impressionnante de 26 ans au sein du gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO). Il a commencé son parcours en tant qu’agent des services correctionnels, grimpant progressivement les échelons pour devenir un superviseur des services correctionnels respecté. Son sens du leadership lui a mérité le prestigieux poste d’administrateur adjoint, puis celui de directeur du Bureau des enquêtes et des normes (BEN).

Dans chacune de ses fonctions, il a fait preuve d’un engagement inébranlable envers la justice, l’équité et le bien-être de sa collectivité. Ses 30 années de service au sein du service d’incendie de Hay River témoignent de son dévouement envers la sécurité et le bien-être des résidents de Hay River. Il est par ailleurs propriétaire et exploitant de Westech Fire and Safety depuis 1999, ce qui prouve son sens des affaires et son engagement à respecter les normes de sécurité les plus strictes. Dans le domaine du devoir civique, Vince McKay a fait partie intégrante du conseil municipal de Hay River pendant 15 ans. Son mandat a été marqué par une attention soutenue au développement de la collectivité, une gouvernance réfléchie et un souci sincère du bien-être de ses concitoyens. Ses précieuses contributions au conseil municipal ont laissé une marque indélébile, lui valant le respect et l’admiration de ses collègues et de ses électeurs.

La famille de Vince McKay — son épouse, Barbara, et ses deux enfants — est au cœur de sa vie. Ensemble, ils forment un front uni qui a su relever les défis d’une vie consacrée au service public. Dans sa vie privée, Vince McKay trouve réconfort et joie dans une myriade de passe-temps. Féru de sport, on le trouve souvent sur la glace ou en train de parcourir les allées de golf, un club à la main. Adepte du grand air, il se passionne pour le camping, la pêche, la navigation de plaisance et le softball — des activités qui lui procurent un répit bien mérité, loin des exigences professionnelles.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 72)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't run the chipping machine but we'll work on it, and hopefully we can commit to getting that done. As I stated, whatever the previous Minister said, I will try to stick with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 72)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have stated many times, a lot of this work is being done in a Canadian standard. We're not inventing our own wheel here and trying to make up our own plans. Working with agencies like that are, you know, collaborative approach. It's not about the department going to these NGOs and essentially forcing them to work with the government. They have their own needs, they have their own requirements, and at times it may not even involve the government support. So, again, there's multiple departments involved in this work, and we'll continue to work with the group to...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following three documents: Physical Activity Sport and Recreation Fund Annual Report 2024-2025; Plain Language Summary for Bill 33: Technical Safety Statutes Amendment Act; and, Statement of Consistency for Bill 33: Technical Safety Statutes Amendment Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If he's speaking about the capital plan for the airport, there's currently work underway with engagement with the public on planning for developments around the airport. However, there's other engagements that are involved in the planning, so there's DND obviously, but also public engagement that's happening right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we're willing to meet with anybody in regards to this topic. There's a lot of agencies out there that deal with this. I don't think there's one particular group, but more than interested in working with anybody to try to move this forward. And like I said, this isn't just something, you know, that's not being done. There's a lot of work in the background being done and we'd like to hopefully have something here in the next little while. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Member bringing this up. So we've gone through a few things here with this. We've done a little bit of research on how this works with the iGaming stuff for sports betting and all the other stuff that goes on online. The department has spoken to a few other agencies who deal with this. So there is a little bit of work being done in the background and hopefully we can have something for the Member here, you know, within the next few months. There is a goal to move this forward and hopefully encompass some of this online gambling that's happening in the...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize Minister Lisa Naylor. She's the Minister of transportation and infrastructure for the province of Manitoba -- oh, just about said Alberta. And Ciara Shatturk, also from Manitoba. Thank you very visiting.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River North, that Bill 33, Technical Safety Statutes Amendment Act, be read for the second time.

The proposed Technical Safety Standards Statutes Amendment Act will amend the Elevators and Lifts Act to become the Technical Safety Act which sets out common core provisions that would apply in all fields of work brought under the Act. The proposed Act will harmonize and streamline permitting fees and inspection powers for regulated products currently within the Boilers and Pressure Vessels Act, Electrical Protection Act, Gas Protection...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With that, I'll have to reach out to the department and get him the information that he's requiring because I'm not aware of where that's at. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 71)

Sorry, I may need him to clarify the question as he asked where the airport authority is at.
