Question 450-19(2): Illicit Drug Use  Thank you again for that response. It's good to hear there are some initiatives in place. There are so many of our people with addictions who are susceptible, and we still have to keep fighting for them. My other question is: can the Minister explain whether or not there have be

Question 450-19(2): Illicit Drug Use  In my notes here, I have "Madam Speaker" underlined quite clearly so I don't make that mistake. Thank you to the Minister for that response. Like I said, we have got to get ahead of this. I agree with surpayments. I think his department, as well, needs to look at ways to make sur

Question 450-19(2): Illicit Drug Use  Marsi cho, Madam Speaker. Just going back to my Member's statement on illicit drugs, I wanted to specifically target those hard drugs, such as crack cocaine, cocaine, and fentanyl. I actually looked up some weight measurements for what a pinch of salt is. When you pick a pinch of

Recognition Of Visitors In The Gallery  Marsi cho, Madam Speaker. I would like to recognize my CA, Tommy Lafferty. He is here with us, passing through from Lutselk'e. He is originally from Behchoko. I want to say thank you. Marsi.

Illicit Drug Use  Marsi cho, Madam Speaker. Today, I want to talk about the adverse impact and influence which illicit drug trade is still having within our communities amid the ongoing global pandemic. Madam Speaker, another common theme that I've noticed in my constituency is the increase of cri

Committee Motion 46-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Northwest Territories Housing Corporation - Deferral of Corporation (page 64), Carried  Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 45-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Infrastructure - Deferral of Department (page 40), carried  If I could just get something in writing, too. If there is a list of buildings slated for demolition, that would be good for our communities to know. Like I said, a lot of these buildings, they are eyesores, and nobody wants to see that. It's always good to keep our stock updated

Committee Motion 45-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Infrastructure - Deferral of Department (page 40), carried  Thank you. That is encouraging to hear. I did have one other question, too. When I do my constituency visits, it really pains me to see, like I said, when you have existing buildings and infrastructure there that are not being used as best as they can. You still see a lot of aban

Committee Motion 45-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Infrastructure - Deferral of Department (page 40), carried  Thank you. I just had a quick question. I know it's not so much this, but are we expecting to see more retrofits forecasted in terms of more of these retrofits in my riding? Marsi cho.

Committee Motion 45-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Infrastructure - Deferral of Department (page 40), carried  Thank you. I am disappointed to see the other communities in my riding not in this, like Ndilo, Detah, Lutselk'e. I know, a lot of us in the small communities, we get a lot of housing complaints, a lot of them, and it doesn't ever stop. You are always advocating for these types o

Committee Motion 45-19(2): Tabled Document 181-19(2): Capital Estimates 2021-2022 - Infrastructure - Deferral of Department (page 40), carried  Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Yay, I have two items here! It looks like there is going to be some retrofit work in Deninu Kue here. I did have a few questions about that, but I could start with my first question: when is this work expected to be started? Marsi cho.

Consideration Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you. I don't want to speculate, but I bet if you did look at this, you won't find a whole lot of benefit. It just goes to my point. I've kind of been seeing this over and over, almost like a mantra. It's disappointing to see the lack of help we've been getting. I need to go

Consideration Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Marsi, Madam Chair. Yes, I will absolutely clarify. In the various items up here, I'm seeing hydro infrastructure. There's Raven fuel management, renewable solutions for off-grid diesel, Taltson expansion. Those four items, if you can give me a ballpark of what benefits this will

Consideration Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  There's a little bit of a bright light at the end of the tunnel for me in terms of this whole capital plan booklet. I'm glad to see there's some work being done, but as I said, I think there could have been a lot more. I'm just going to turn my attention to some of the various it
