Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. My next question is in the same section. In the last column, it reads, "nine transitional housing units added in several communities." I am wondering how Cabinet will decide where those transitional housing units will be located? Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a few questions on this page. I will start maybe right in the middle. In the second section, under "How we will do it," it reads, "Establish medical detox and managed alcohol programming." I am wondering if the Premier can speak to where Cabinet see

Question 104-19(2): Closing the Municipal Funding Gap  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, I am definitely game to sit down with the Minister any time. One thing that I routinely have heard lately from my constituents is that the government seemed to very easily find the extra million dollars to cover the taxation error for the Stanton Terri

Question 104-19(2): Closing the Municipal Funding Gap  I am not sure if I understood if the figures would be updated on an annual basis. My next question is: what percentage of the annual $25-million funding gap does MACA anticipate will be covered by federal funding? The second part of that question is: how sustainable do we feel th

Question 104-19(2): Closing the Municipal Funding Gap  No. I appreciate the Minister's honesty on that one, and maybe we can do dinner and reading together. My next question is: what is the department planning to do moving forward to ensure that the figures reported on page 12 continue to be annually updated and provided to the NWT A

Question 104-19(2): Closing the Municipal Funding Gap  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. My first question is: two weeks ago my colleague from Nunakput asked the Minister to read the report "Focus for the Future" tabled by MACA on the last day of the last Assembly; has

Municipal Funding Gap  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For four years, the regular Members of the 18th Assembly made repeated calls for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs to develop a strategy to address the municipal funding gap. That report was quietly tabled on the final day of the final sittin

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. That makes me very happy to hear. So I'm happy, thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm very happy to hear discussions around a seniors' strategy being brought up, and also the seniors home heating fuel, so it's nice to know that we're all on similar pages on this side of the House. My first two are comments, and then I have a question. M

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess my concern a little bit is, if I was doing right now what I thought I wanted to do in grade nine, I would not be sitting in this chair right now. If a student decides in, say, grade 11, that they want to take advantage of distance learning, but the

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thanks, Madam Chair. Within the small communities, is every student within those small communities that the programming is targeted to able to take the distance learning? Thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I have, I think, one quick question. Under the first mandate item, under "How We Will Do It," it says, "ensure distance learning opportunities are available in all NWT communities." Does that include available to all NWT students? Thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. My last question: so our priority here is "advance universal childcare by increasing availability," so we have definitely discussed that. The last part of that sentence is "and affordability," so I am wondering if the Premier can speak a little bit to how

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  All right, thank you, Madam Chair. I am definitely game to continue having more conversations about this with the Minister of Education. Another concern of mine has to do with the same type of thing, and that is after-school care again in schools, and that is around the rules. I

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. A couple of questions, my first being in regard to after-school care. After-school care is a form of childcare, and, within the Northwest Territories, the ratio for adults to children for after-school care is different from the ratio for pupils to teachers
