Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. Would the Minister provide some insight as to why an Aboriginal group would not sign on to the devolution agreement? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. So who makes up the Intergovernmental Council? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. So the parties that are not signatories, are there monies set aside for those parties in anticipation that they will sign on? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. With respect to, I guess, the benefit transfer to Aboriginal parties, what parties are receiving that benefit? Which Aboriginal groups? All of them, or some of them? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a comment now, and that's with respect to the P1. I think it's very important that, when we look at hiring P1s, you know, there's a reason why you have that in place. I had told one of my colleagues in the last two days, if you're an Indigenous or an

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. What is the hiring process? What is involved in it? I understand that there may have been some changes, where there are some tests that are administered, whether it be, I don't know, writing essays, I'm not sure? How does that happen? I guess I've never ha

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to go back to the P1s again. Thinking about that, say you've got two people, you've got a P1, and the other person is not. It comes down, and the P1, if they have the minimum requirements for the position, will they be hired? Is that what we ca

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. The next point is, I guess, on bonuses. I can see the value in paying bonuses, but at the same time, I see the value in housing people on the street, as well. It's kind of a hard position for us to be put in. I'm just wondering if the department has talked

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. If there was 24 percent that were successful, of the remaining percentage, which should be 76 percent, how many P1s actually applied in that 76 percent, and how many, if they were unsuccessful, appealed those hires? Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. The next one is affirmative action. That's a tough one for me, because I guess I'm always concerned about changing things that have been in place for a while. We talk about things being grandfathered in, because if you change something, it does open up a c

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I had a concern from a constituent last week, and it had to do with internal job postings versus advertised. The person was outside the department and applied, but the job was actually, I guess, filled internally. I am wondering how many of the positions t

Question 112-19(2): Northwest Territories Commercial Fishing Industry  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the things I believe in is that it is important to get the straight goods, and the only way to do that is one-on-one with the people in an industry. There is not a lot of people in the fishing industry. I would ask the Minister if she would commit t

Question 112-19(2): Northwest Territories Commercial Fishing Industry  I thank the Minister for that answer. The next question is: will the Minister commit to replacing the current NWT representative sitting on the board of FFMC with somebody who is actually a fisher?

Question 112-19(2): Northwest Territories Commercial Fishing Industry  I was hoping she was going to say yes because I was just going to quiz her to make sure she knew what was in them. I thank her for that. The question I have is: does the Minister believe that we need to involve NWT and not southern fishers in revitalizing our commercial fishing i

Question 112-19(2): Northwest Territories Commercial Fishing Industry  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. These questions will be for the Minister of ITI. I would like to ask the Minister if she has had the report prepared by the Minister of the advising panel and also our NWT commercial fishing strategy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
