Statements in the House

Question 231-13(7): GNWT Tendering Processes July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. There have been concerns raised today in this Assembly about many different things. Mr. Premier, has there been any change in direction by your government in the tendering process of the Northwest Territories Government before the territorial government tendered in the Northwest Territories and looked to support businesses in the Northwest Territories. Has your tendering process changed at all to encourage southern businesses to bid in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Question 229-13(7): Changes To Correctional Centre Renovation Project July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just so that I do understand this process, so then the Minister says they are looking at how to save the dollars and that is good government to do that and they are looking at how to combine these facilities to save operations and maintenance dollars that maximize the use of money, and that is another good government, but there has been no final decision made as of yet, as we speak today on combining these facilities and building a new facility. There is no file on this as Members have not been consulted in this major change in capital projects money. I am just wondering if that is correct? Thank you.

Question 229-13(7): Changes To Correctional Centre Renovation Project July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. He only took a small part of the question as notice. Now, Mr. Speaker, it is a little more clear to me so there has been, according to what the Minister has just said, has been no decision made on a new facility. I knew already that there had been a decision made as well as all the public know of putting a young offenders' facility in Yellowknife and renovate the existing Yellowknife Correctional

Centre. That is public knowledge and I understand that, but the Minister made it very clear that they are considering or they are looking at, instead of renovating it, to build a new one to save money for capital costs and operations and maintenance. Is that correct? Am I understanding it right now?

Question 229-13(7): Changes To Correctional Centre Renovation Project July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know I would have remembered this decision. So the Minister is saying that this decision to change the Yellowknife Correctional Centre from a renovation to a new building was made before he was the Minister, so that must have been before we considered capital projects in this House. But yet, in the capital projects it is a renovation. Last time I checked renovations were different then new buildings. Was that decision made prior to the Minister defending this budget in this House? Was that in this budget in this House? Thank you.

Question 229-13(7): Changes To Correctional Centre Renovation Project July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice. When did the Minister's department with the concurrence of the Minister, make a decision to change the Yellowknife Correctional facility to a renovation project to build in a brand new building? What day was that decision made? Thank you.

Question 226-13(7): Renovations To The Yellowknife Correctional Centre July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just a point of order. The Minister took the question as notice. I do not need an explanation why he is taking it as notice. Thank you.

Question 226-13(7): Renovations To The Yellowknife Correctional Centre July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice. In the past, capital plan of this government had allocated funding for renovations to the Yellowknife Correctional Centre. Does the Minister still plan on implementing those renovations or what is his plan to solve the long-term over crowdedness of the Yellowknife Correctional Centre? Thank you.

Question 221-13(7): Fort Resolution Sawmill July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister provide to me a briefing note of what you are doing to date, what will happen, the schedule, and what the proposals are? Thank you.

Question 221-13(7): Fort Resolution Sawmill July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. There are approximately 50,000 logs sitting in the community of Fort Resolution in the sawmill yard. When will you be sawing those logs? Thank you.

Question 219-13(7): Renovations To Yellowknife Correctional Centre July 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A little over a week ago, myself and one of the committees of the Legislative Assembly had the opportunity to meet with the Minister to be consulted on changes to this line item in the budget, the Yellowknife Correctional Centre. Can the Minister at least tell me if that meeting was to consult with Members or had this government made a decision prior to that meeting on that item? Thank you.
