Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. That's good to know. I think, for something like this to promote trades, to promote skilled labour, that sort of stuff, it can't be just confined to Yellowknife. I think that's something that needs to be looked at, to get it out to up in the Beaufort, up i

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you. My other one, I have questions about Skills Canada. There is a line item here. It has not really changed. It's $70,000. I am looking at this for the explanation in this line item. It says that it's for priorities related to adult career and employment. It does not seem

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I thought I was done there, but yes, I will look forward to seeing that information. In hearing this, it sounds like this is a really important program, and it does create jobs right at the grass-roots level. Are there any talks to increasing this fund to

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Yes. My last question for this line item is: can the Minister give us a breakdown by region? I ask that just to make sure that there is some fair sharing throughout the regions and the territories for our small communities. Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. That is good to know, that there is some consideration, a pot of money, to get work going in small communities. Like I said, every dollar here matters. My next question is: is this pot of money, what's the word, being fully subscribed? Like where are we s

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Okay. Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I am just going to turn your attention to page 54 on small community employment. It's not so much the numbers. I just have some questions about this line item. If I could just ask the Minister to explain what exactly these funds are for, we will star

Question 549-19(2): Frontier Lodge  Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Through all of this, I had to include the Premier in on this. I am hoping to get some input from Madam Premier on this. It is an appropriate time to develop new standards. Does the Premier have any comments on this, and will she consider some of the impact

Question 549-19(2): Frontier Lodge  That's encouraging. I mentioned in my speech earlier, it shouldn't have taken a year to get to this point, and I'm hoping that her department and maybe some other departments who follow suit, what are some lessons learned here? What can they give back? What are some of the things

Question 549-19(2): Frontier Lodge  Yes, I look forward to hearing some of that correspondence from this morning. I will table here shortly, the Chief of the LKDFN wishes to meet with her department. I wonder if I can give that to the Minister to follow up and meet on that?
