Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I too want to add and support the engagements both at the federal level and the territorial level with the other Indigenous organizations. An economic reconciliation is a common drive. One standard chapter within these claims that could be allowed to build on so you have a common ground of engagement to economic reconciliation would be that permitted activities within these different land claims, which allows expenditure of capital. And it could be done through a copartnership arrangement. So that door can be opened to do a number of things for economic reconciliation. It...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's the only question I had at this point in time on that particular page there. Mahsi.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My comments here is to the Department of EIA. Taking a lead role in representing this institution or this mandate or this government outside of this government in building relations, I totally agree with the mandate to engage in a number of ways, including building trust and relationships with the other land title organizations out there. For a number of reasons, we have the conventions allowing you to do so. And I see a need for improvement, and I'm quite satisfied with the business plan to resolve those and expedite solutions in particular. The only government authority...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I want to thank the Minister for making those funds known and available to support the problems we have. It's very still disturbs me today on the outcomes that I've seen on my last session in the Sahtu.

My next question is on the O and M side of operations and designing your efforts to bring resolution to the problem is, to me, in various parts. My next is there O and M funding to support the operations of an ontheland treatment centre? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Drugs and addictions workshop in the youth conference. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address the urgent substance misuse and drug crisis devastating our communities across the Northwest Territories and Sahtu region.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the past weekend, I had the opportunity to have preliminary discussions with the principals of Buffalo Airways. Instructions to stakeholders on the Sahtu resupply is as important as the plan itself.

Mr. Speaker, we can no longer deny the reality of low water levels only minimizing repercussions of it. To bring into perspective, Mr. Speaker, last fall's barge delivery to Fort Good Hope seen a topup to the winter road resupply season of 600,000 litres of fuel.

Mr. Speaker, January the 8th, 2024, Sahtu seen the costs of aviation fuel delivered to Norman...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 17)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I too agree with the principles of the business plan; however, there's always room for improvements. It's a fouryear document that really sets the direction for this Assembly and a everchanging climate, whether that climate is the cost of living in the small communities, the larger communities, and our territory as a whole. So realizing that, we really don't have any idea what the economic environment is going to be next year or the year after, but having the guiding principles to move forward with an updated review, certainly shows efficiency of this Assembly in moving...
