Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Just further to that, I am in favour of making sure that friendship centres are funded properly, Madam Chair. It is really important because I know federal funding is not enough and friendship centres do a great job within the communities. They do a wide variety of programs that

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. The $170,000 in grant funding to individual Northwest Territories friendship centres, could you give me the breakdown of the disbursements, please?

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Madam Chair, I had a question for funding with regard to funding the Northwest Territories friendship centres. First of all, I want to ask the first question, I guess. I always thought friendship centres came under federal jurisdiction. This is just extra to that?

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I don't have any other questions.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is where the department will see an increase of three positions in the 2020-2021 budget, these three positions are located in Yellowknife. It's the creation of the Office of Devolution Initiatives. Could you please explain to me exactly what th

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  She didn't ask for any comments when she made the statement, so I thought I was able to do that. I'm sorry if I'm out of [microphone turned off]... The third question that I had was with the department, for three new positions, and the creation of office of devolution initiatives

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  My second question is on some of the comments that were made in the statement by the Premier, a sunset of $170,000 to the grant funding, available to individual Northwest Territories friendship centres. Could the Premier please tell us the disbursements and who they go to, the $1

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a couple of questions. One of them is: a couple of weeks ago I did a Member's statement on deputy ministers on boards. I, too, feel very strongly that, if you're going to be accountable and transparent and arm's-length, the board has to be neut

Committee Motion 3-19(2): Tabled Document 30-19(2): Main Estimates 2020-2021 - Justice - Deferral of Further Consideration of the Estimates for the Department of Justice, Carried  I just want to make sure that all students who want to take post-secondary education have access. I am saying that because we had a problem just before Christmas with regard to the new aviation program that was being held in Fort Smith. In the end, I want to make sure that post-s

Committee Motion 3-19(2): Tabled Document 30-19(2): Main Estimates 2020-2021 - Justice - Deferral of Further Consideration of the Estimates for the Department of Justice, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to ask a question on the student financial assistance. For the 2018-2019 actuals to now, there has been an increase.

Committee Motion 3-19(2): Tabled Document 30-19(2): Main Estimates 2020-2021 - Justice - Deferral of Further Consideration of the Estimates for the Department of Justice, Carried  I just have one final comment, and that has to do, again, with the territorial support team. If they're not doing regular territorial support team referrals to the communities on a regular basis, that is also a gap that I see. I think that, if it is a territorial support team and

I also want to talk a little bit about inclusive schooling.
