Member's Statement 427-20(1): Economic Sustainability   it as a large business wanting their way, and they attacked them on their pocketbook. But what was ignored is the message within the letter. Here was a bell being rung by an industry partner that underpins our economy and who's saying we have a path for economic opportunity for the next 25

Motion 44-20(1): Performance Audit of the Management and Governance of the NTHSSA, Carried   of the Northwest Territories who need access to medical care, especially as things -- you know, as our economy slows down, as costs continue to increase, as it gets hard -- as climate change continues to create struggles, our health -- as people age, we're going to need more access to health

Member's Statement 365-20(1): Northern Employment   part of a strategically-thought out plan? One of the key problems I see in our economy is that we aren't achieving education outcomes and sending students to post-secondary in sufficient numbers to produce a local workforce so many of the jobs we create go to southern contractors

Committee Motion 44-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates - Education, Culture and Employment - Deferral of Department, Carried  , that's, again, pretty big question that I'm a bit hesitant to get into today sitting here on -- with the capital budget. How do we save the economy of the Northwest Territories is kind of the question and I, again, don't know that I'm in a position to try to answer that without

Minister's Statement 63-20(1): Fall Economic and Fiscal Update   efficiencies. Mr. Speaker, we are all acutely aware of the impending diamond mine closures but for now, the Northwest Territories' economy remains stable. Over the last three years, since the 2020 lows caused by COVID-19 restrictions, the economy has broadly recovered. Indicators

Member's Statement 351-20(1): Fiscal Stewardship   expenditures are on the other hand. We can't have it both ways. We either must insist on prioritizing our economy and getting these projects so we don't keep adding short-term debt we can't afford. We are at a tipping point, and we are soon to tip over, and especially if Ottawa says no. So

Member's Statement 349-20(1): Public Housing   indicated they want to take over public housing. Certainly, they're providing more opportunities for homeownership, allowing families with higher incomes to move out of public housing, but our economy is still so low in small communities and trauma is so high that there will continue

Emergency Debate   think about the potential for biomass and other solutions in the Sahtu, in the Mackenzie Valley, you know, there's opportunities here to build community resiliency, reduce living costs, reduce dependency on shipments from the south, and create permanent jobs and an economy that's

Committee Motion 51-20(1): Concurrence of Tabled Document 193-20(1), Northwest Territories Capital Estimates 2025-2026, Carried  , and then the market will solve all of our housing problems. But this completely ignores the realities in small nonmarket communities. All the evidence we have of where our communities' economies are at and incomes in these small nonmarket communities, all this evidence leads us to the conclusion

Member's Statement 337-20(1): Aurora College  . Speaker. To end on a positive note, I want to share a glimmer of hope. The former research chair, quoted in the CBC story, noted he still believes there is a lot of potential for knowledge economy growth in the NWT, and I've heard that message from so many people who are working

Member's Statement 426-20(1): Conservation Inititatives   as a territory in terms of things that can drive our economy. We focus on all our disadvantages, all the things that we don't have, like I was speaking about in my Member's statement on Wednesday. Our territory is a vast 135 million hectares with many remote communities and very little

Emergency Debate   mobilization is in that market area. So I'm kind of assuming that the mobilization of fuels to the Sahtu, being $3 and 3.50, economy of scale might be a factor for reductions because you're hauling in more. But it's still in that above $3 area for airlifted costs. So that's the situation

Oral Question 305-20(1): Heating Oil  , this is right now unfunded. This was one of the areas where the federal low carbon economy leadership fund was reduced rather significantly and took a significant hit on our budget in this space. So we are actively asking the federal government what they're going to be doing to bring

Oral Question 305-20(1): Heating Oil  . And the benefit of that, again, is that it creates the local supply demand -- or rather it creates local demand which then encourages a supply chain and a bit of an economy of scale in that regard. So with respect to whether or not there can be changes also brought in to smaller units, smaller

Question 390-20(1): Health Promotion in Communities   on the territorial economy, in addition to GNWT own source revenues decreasing, the GNWT noted that it has no mechanism to track demand for in vitro fertilization or IVF.
