Taltson Dam  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For my Member's statement, I am going to talk about the importance that the Taltson Hydroelectric Expansion Project continues to have for the economy of the NWT. Mr. Speaker, in my response to the Commissioner's address the other day, I discussed the Talt

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I just want clarification, I guess, on the overlapping issue with page 177 and 180 when we look at the allocation to Norman Wells and to that line with $45 million, the Yellowknife line, the $45,056,000 on page 177 and the overlapping issue with residential care on repatriation o

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I'm just looking at the line with the addictions treatment facilities and the 191 clients. 191 clients come back. Do you have any statistics for the success rate of those who just go back and do it all over again? Do you have any of those kind of statistics that are available? E

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Madam Chair, it's really important. It's all right to assist by phone and assist by this, but when you don't have funds to assist other jurisdictions, that is not equal representation and equal access. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Madam Chair, I just have a concern, because I had a member of the Native Women's Association come to me at the airport when I was catching a plane one time, and she had asked to go to an NWT Disabilities meeting and was told that it was only for Yellowknife residents. When you ha

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I guess I just want to point out, Madam Chair, that there seems to be a disparity in allocations again.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. The NWT Seniors' Society, the main society is here in Yellowknife, and I know they do support the other senior societies throughout, but I'm just wondering about the senior societies, say, in Fort Smith or Inuvik.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I would like to clarification on the seniors fund of $205,000. That goes to support the NWT Seniors' Society. There are different societies in a lot of the regional centres in other places. Do they get funding from this fund? How does that work? I just want clarification.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  On page 176, we're talking about long-term care and supported living. That $36,363,000, what does that include, for clarification? They're just figures to me. I just want clarification on the figure, please, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I want to make a brief statement. Our seniors and our elders are the knowledge base of what we have today. They have given us what we are experiencing today, and we have to remember that. Seniors and our elders and those who need care now hav

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I don't have any further questions, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Madam Chair, I think I am making myself very clear. I am not saying I want a breakdown of every little item that goes to -- I just want to know the exact amounts that are being allocated, okay, for each community, each health centre, and all the hospitals.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. Let's go back to the $73,936,000 for all of the community clinics and health centres.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. You have page 171 in front of us, and I am being told that I can't get clarification on where the money is going? That, to me, is very unacceptable, but I will keep on with my statement. What I am trying to point out is the disparity between health centres
