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 68)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair.

So the priorities for all the roads are the safety concerns and, you know, for Highway No. 4, you know, taking away a lot of the dips and trying to straighten out some of the road on a continual basis with the permafrost and stuff. So it's ongoing maintenance, and that's scheduled over the next two years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So far it's been $10 million annually.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Yeah, thanks. I'll ask the deputy minister to answer that for me. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I could go through every community and give out every community's capital plan. This fund is divided up to the communities to fund their projects within the communities. So a lot of this -- like, the investing in Canada infrastructure program that she's speaking of is all distributed to the communities. We don't hold on to any of that. It's all part of their capital plan and all their developing within the communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So the $51,000 under small capital projects for the small sport utility vehicle is more of a safety liability thing for the vision for sports and rec. You know, they have to run around, they have to, you know, do their business within the community also and also travel around the region, but they also -- like I said earlier, they also deliver Western Canadian Lotteries things to the post office, to venues across Yellowknife and the region and, yeah, get it out to the communities. So not so much just a -- you know, a wonderful purchase of a new vehicle, it's more of...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Great comments by the Member. Noted. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, a lot of the community governments receive funding for their operations in their own communities, so Deh Cho riding has a few communities and they've already received -- or they have a lot of their funding already allocated through their planning. So I can share that information also with the Member if they like, but it's more of a community operations line of questioning that I couldn't answer for the communities. I'll also maybe just ask the deputy minister just to share a few things there. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 67)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So the department has been working with the community government in regards to this formula funding. And they continue to work with the Tlicho government. So just with that, again, you know, the formula funding is divided up between the communities based on, you know, their infrastructure, their services they provide, assets they have, and all that kind of stuff. So it's distributed through all 33 communities fairly and equitably so that -- you know, we all have the same problem of not having enough money, and we're trying to get these funds out to all the...
