Question 1545-19(2): Fort Simpson Liquid Natural Gas Power Plant  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So if I think I'm hearing right, that means that we actually have not put in the ask yet to the federal government for more money, which I was under the impression through the last few sittings that when the plan did not go ahead last fall, like when I ask

Question 1545-19(2): Fort Simpson Liquid Natural Gas Power Plant  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure. Can the Minister tell us has the Fort Simpson LNG redesign plans or relocation plans been decided upon by the Northwest Territories Power Corporation board that Minister did promise last sitting. And if

Member's Statement 1552-19(2): Northwest Territories Flood Mitigation and Response  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, flooding in the territory continues to be a real threat to residents' homes, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure in the Northwest Territories communities. In March, I spoke about the need to relocate and upgrade the Fort Simpson diesel pl

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not sure that that totally answered my question. I get that there's a balance. However, the fishers themselves have been asking for an increased payment for their fish. So I'm not sure how that then gets developed with cooperation of the Tu Cho themsel

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks for the answer. I wish we had gotten out of it sooner from what I hear. My next question would be that why would we not take part of this $2.246 million and ensure that -- and use that money instead to pay the fishers more rather than operation of

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you. Why are we still the only ones in this arrangement that basically indentures our fishers to, you know, not paying them what their fish is worth? Thank you.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I also have questions about the fish plant. Can the Minister tell me whether or not the opening of the fish plant will mean that fishers will receive more money per fillet or whole fish that they bring in than they are currently getting under the previous

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I just would be remiss if I let this opportunity go by without making the comment that I wish this number was a lot more. I don't hold it on this Minister's head that it is not more. I do recognize where we're at from a fiscal standpoint as a government. H

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to ask a little bit about the suicide prevention strategies funding and just can the Minister confirm that this was the money that came out of the negotiations of Regular Members? Thank you.

Question 1541-19(2): Government of the Northwest Territories Commitment to United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Implementation  Mr. Speaker, respectfully, an open line means nothing if you don't listen to what the people are saying on it. Ten out of 15 is 67 percent. 67 percent, I'm sure most of the parents in the room would not be happy with their child coming home with a 67 percent report card. So to me

Question 1541-19(2): Government of the Northwest Territories Commitment to United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Implementation  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Then the Premier is not aware or did not watch our meeting with the IRC in which we discussed this on the social development committee, which was a public meeting, and I would have hoped that her staff and staff at Justice had been listening. It was clear

Question 1541-19(2): Government of the Northwest Territories Commitment to United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Implementation  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier. The government has said it will not withdraw its Supreme Court challenge that affects Inuvialuit child and family services law. It's actually my understanding it's too late for them to do so. Their choice is puzzling and p
