Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a motion too. I move that the Government of the Northwest Territories continue to provide updated timetables or schedules for the environmental assessment of all known potentially contaminated sites for which the government is responsible, to be included annually in the public accounts. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 37-17(5): Environmental Assessment Of Potentially Contaminated Sites, Carried
Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bills and Other Matters

Michael Nadli

Michael Nadli Deh Cho

Thank you, Madam Chair. In terms of moving towards devolution and the target date of April 1st , this government is assuming several

contaminated sites. Of course, that relates to mines and oil and gas sites that have been decommissioned or are no longer in use. What that leaves is a legacy of industrial footprints that are sometimes just not repairable, so it’s usually the practice to try and at least remediate the site so that it could go back to the state that it was before it was disturbed.

There’s a real need for, at least on an annual basis, an updated schedule and timetables for these sites that exist here in the NWT in terms of how it is that governments plan to employ teams to ensure that those sites are clean and remediated in a timely manner and, of course, within budget.

What’s also integral is just the value of information that needs to be very accurate in terms of being

part of the integral process of decision-making related to this subject matter. Those are just some key points I wanted to bring up. Mahsi.
