Statements in Debates

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 52)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So it sounds, then, that this particular measure and target might resolve itself if, you know, all deities willing we don't have any evacuations this year. So is there -- is there any kind of plan here; what kind of approach is the department taking? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 52)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 52)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And that is good information to know, but -- so is it anticipated or expected that as we start to have our economic vision developed into the fall, and possibly into next year actions rolling out of that, you will be seeking investment into new diversification streams, or is there anything sort of contemplated in the, like, initial stages of trying to expand or diversification options? I know we've had a lot of success with the film industry. I know the Minister is a big fan of supporting the arts, but are there any other visions on her horizon that she'd like to talk...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 52)

I don't know how to respond to toot your horn.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 52)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for that clarification. That jives a little bit better in my mind so that is good to hear.

I am curious, following up on the questions from my colleague from Frame Lake around the economic vision and sort of visionary pieces. Could additional information be provided on the pan-territorial resources investment marketing initiative and how that relates to the economic vision that work is being done? Thank you, Mr. Chair

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 51)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a quick question. I note in the main estimates that this activity has -- provides free public access to the legal research material in the M.M. deWeerdt Public Legal Resource Centre. Can the Minister please tell me if that research centre is staffed by an information professional. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 51)

Thank you, Madam Chair. This is mostly me just making sure we don't swing past this key activity as people get ready to ask more substantive questions. But could the Minister please provide an update on where the unit has gotten to thus far. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 51)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, I'm sure I will continue to talk to the Minister offline about this. And I appreciate those comments. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Question 594-20(1): Community Gardens
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 51)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There's a certain poetic loveliness about SEED money going for seeds. I will look forward to the Minister sharing that information with me directly so I can promote it.

Will the Minister commit to investigating ways to support more projects like the Inuvik Community Greenhouse throughout the NWT? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
