Tabled Document 546-18(3): NWT Mineral Development Strategy Progress Report 2016-2019  Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled "NWT Mineral Development Strategy Progress Report 2016-2019." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 852-18(3): Small-Scale Hydroelectricity for Communities  Clearly, what we have laid out in our 2030 Energy Strategy is how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Northwest Territories. Part of that strategy is a T-line to Whati, no different than the T-line from Hay River to Fort Providence and Kakisa. We will have to continue to

Question 852-18(3): Small-Scale Hydroelectricity for Communities  I think I have to clarify here. Maybe the department has done it; I just said that I don't have that level of detail in front of me. We can certainly have a look and check with the department if they have done that cost analysis. As I have said, we believe in the short term to jo

Question 852-18(3): Small-Scale Hydroelectricity for Communities  I don't have that detail in front of me, but what I can tell you about this project is that, if we connect the transmission line to Whati, we're going to eliminate 475,000 litres of diesel fuel annually. We have to look at this situation. Maybe the Member is not well aware, but w

Question 852-18(3): Small-Scale Hydroelectricity for Communities  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I'm well aware of these projects. These were led by the Tlicho Government. Costing goes back as far as 2009, and these things would have to be re-costed to present-day costs to compare it to what the present line that we are proposing in our energy st

The scope of work that is proposed for this project is installation of a series of rock-filled bench drains underneath the existing runway embankment, control site drainage, and stabilize problematic areas. This will require excavation of the runway embankme

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I said, we don't know the exact size of the line, yet. That has to be determined by our engagement in our pre-feasibility work, but I suspect we want to build this thing to not only supply the community of Whati and get them off diesel to lower our GHG em

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  The capacity of the power line? Wow, you are asking for some serious detail, here. What I will read out here is what I have. The design and construction of the new transmission line from the Snare hydro system to the community of Whati, the transmission line starts from the Snare

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. From 2014-2019, we actually did embankment and surface improvements, drainage improvements. They have been completed. We spent $728,000 doing that. In 2019-2020, we worked with Jean Marie and did additional embankment and surface improvement for $310,000. So

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have committed some cap funding and worked with the community on what they are doing with their access road, particularly around that Nun Hill situation and the burn area that was rough for a number farmers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member's question is kind of vague. Is he trying to build the whole thing, or for the Government of the Northwest Territories, what we're doing to work with these people? Back to the Nahanni Butte access road, we were working very closely with the commun

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Prelude Lake boat launch replacement carry-over was a change in scope being developed. Construction to commence in fall when boat launch is not in use. Could be tendered by mid-August, so I suspect that's already out for tender right now, Mr. Chair.
