Committee Motion 510-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 93.1, Carried  Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I participated in the review of the bill. And I want to say I support the bill, except for the name change. And the other items in here, though, are good items that are covered here. They are in response to three independent reviews that were done of BD

Committee Motion 508-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 90.1, Defeated  Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. It may not come as a surprise to the other side, I think this bill was not particularly well drafted. I don't think there was adequate consultation. And to have this bill not apply to GNWT, that's not good. This might actually help fix that through a on

Committee Motion 504-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - Amend Clause 3.1, Defeated  Yeah, thanks. That sound pretty good to me. I would prefer having a little bit more meat on this non-derogation clause, so to speak, that makes sure that, you know, we support the land resources and self-government agreements that have already been negotiated, and there's the abi

Committee Motion 504-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - Amend Clause 3.1, Defeated  Yeah, okay. Well, let me just try it, yeah. I understand that this language comes from other laws of the Northwest Territories passed by the Assembly. So I just want to find a way to confirm that, and which pieces of legislation it comes from.

Committee Motion 504-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - Amend Clause 3.1, Defeated  Thanks, Madam Chair. I just want to understand. I believe this language comes from -- is repeated in at least a couple of other pieces of GNWT legislation. And can I ask the law clerk to confirm that for me, please.

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Okay, thanks. I don't know how do I get at this. The first answer I got was yes, it does apply or may -- and then it may apply in certain circumstances. And now it's not going to apply to settlement lands. So I kind of think I heard three different answers. And I'm not a lawyer,

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Yeah, okay, if I wasn't concerned before, now I really am. If GNWT's going to interpret this bill in a manner that may allow for seizure and sale of Indigenous settlement lands, I'm voting against it right now. This is just not right. And the department doesn't seem to have done

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Thanks, Madam Chair. So will that include settlement lands; you know, the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, some of the Sahtu entities, the Gwich'in Tribal Council actually own some lands surface, subsurface, sometimes both for the same parcel. This bill would enable seizure and s

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Okay, thanks, Madam Chair. I'll try the second part of my question again. Will this bill enable the seizure and sale of Indigenous owned lands? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, that's kind of my thoughts exactly. If this doesn't apply to GNWT, why are we doing it? Will this bill apply to Indigenous governments and will it allow seizure and sale of Indigenous owned lands? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Thanks, Madam Chair. So okay, I got an explanation as to why the Minister and Cabinet believe that this shouldn't apply to GNWT. Why does it apply, then, to municipal governments? Thank you.

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Thanks, Madam Chair. Well, I guess I'm not really in favour of continuing what is probably not a good situation. You know, GNWT is the major contracting authority here in the Northwest Territories. Why doesn't this bind the GNWT? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. Well, my apologies to the Minister. My recollection was that that was said during the clause-by-clause review and if my recollection is wrong, I sincerely apologize. But I guess I'd like to know, first off, just confirm with the Minister, will this bill

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried  Merci, Madam la Presidente. I guess I have a number of questions here. The first one is I distinctly remember the Minister at the clause-by-clause hearing saying something along the lines of, you know, if I had to start over again I would have done this very differently, and I th

Committee Motion 502-19(2): Bill 85: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Implementation Act - amend subclause 12(2.1), Defeated  Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I'm just not sure I have anything further to say. I'm really tired, I just -- yeah, I think this was a good discussion and debate. I don't expect that it's going to pass but I want to, I guess, get on the record that I think whoever's negotiating these
