Question 69-16(2) Barriers To Hiring Persons With Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, I guess there’s a number of reasons for that. I certainly concur with the Member that we need to do a better job to improve our employment of persons with disabilities. I guess the large part of the problem — and she’s already alluded to it — is self-identification.

Question 69-16(2) Barriers To Hiring Persons With Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, I guess I would like to point out to the Members that we have been a bit proactive in this area. We have identified a special liaison person to deal with persons with disabilities. I would have to look at the Affirmative Action Policy. I don’t know whether that’s t

Question 69-16(2) Barriers To Hiring Persons With Disabilities  I would have to look at that. I think it is an issue of reporting. I don’t think I said I ruled out the question of looking at having persons with disabilities listed as P1s or something. That is something we’d be prepared to look at.

Question 70-16(2) Construction Of The Mackenzie Valley Highway  Mr. Speaker, the construction of the Mackenzie Valley Highway has the potential to be a very important project for the Northwest Territories and, I think, would go a long way into some of the Premier’s initiatives that he spoke about. I would like to direct my question today to

Question 70-16(2) Construction Of The Mackenzie Valley Highway  That kind of leads to my next question. Who at the end of the day would be responsible for the funding of the construction of the Mackenzie Valley Highway?

Question 70-16(2) Construction Of The Mackenzie Valley Highway  I thank the Premier for that. I would like to ask the Premier how we can help Ottawa make up their mind. Does this government have the authority, or could we introduce legislation, called the Mackenzie Valley Highway Act that would help in our case with Ottawa?

Bill 2 Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2007-2008  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to make a couple of general comments on the Minister’s opening remarks. Since I’ve been here I’ve seen a few of these sups come forward. I’m just a little concerned that when they do their actual budgeting exercise, it seems that they come ba

Bill 2 Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2007-2008  I think the pent-up demand is still there. It just became a question of cash-flowing the money. We rolled out the program on January 7, and as the applications have been rolling in, we realized that, as part of the cash-flowing, we weren’t going to have enough applications to flo

Bill 2 Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2007-2008  Based on the applications that we received and the amounts requested from the different programs that were being accessed, we have calculated how much money would flow out this fiscal year.

Bill 2 Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2007-2008  The $1.5 million — I’m not going to point fingers. They do have people who are supposed to be going out there inspecting these things. If they pass an inspection and then collapse, there is responsibility there somewhere, as far as I’m concerned. My question is on $1.5 million.

Bill 2 Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2007-2008  So the $425,000 the Premier made reference to, that’s on top of the $1.5, but that is not including the $422,000? I am assuming we are expecting work to be started this spring or even this winter because we do have a lot of anticipated traffic up the highway this summer, and we w

Contract Tenders For Regional Materials And Services  Mr. Speaker, the G.N.W.T. puts a lot of tenders out there across the Northwest Territories worth millions of dollars.

Question 51-16(2) Economic Losses From Migrant Workers  The issue of migrant workers has been a troublesome one for our government for some time.
