Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that consideration of Tabled Document 17-19(2), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, be now concluded and that Tabled Document 17-19(2) be reported and recommended as ready for further consideration in formal session

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. I am just looking at the "What We Will Do." It says here, "Strengthen GNWT procurement policy and practices," and it mentions our BIP policy, P3, and NMPP. I am just wondering what our government is going to do or what the Premier is going to do for s

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Yes, I was not too sure, but I caught that last little bit, and that's good. Thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I am just going to carry on from what the Member for Frame Lake just mentioned. A lot of the results for this item won't be seen for years. I will say this made me feel really good. Again, you look at some of the most developed countries on the planet, som

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. When we did our briefings and just after we got sworn in, the stats kept playing in my head over and over, and it's almost like a nightmare now, but it's the rates for our high school graduation for Indigenous populations in small communities. The 2018 gra

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Madam Premier, for the response. Yes, I guess I was not too clear on that. That was not really mentioned in here, but I think it's such a key thing and needs to be mentioned at some point in here. If we get these attendance rates up, even like b

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I was really happy to see this one, and word it the way we did; dignity is so important. Just before the session we were downtown here in Yellowknife and I saw an elderly lady, it was just busy, moving really slow, and I stopped my vehicle. I did

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry, I'm getting a little bit fatigued. I have nothing further, thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the Chair rise and report progress. Mahsi cho.

Point of Order  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My thoughts on this: I am echoing what Member from Frame Lake said about getting notice for the point of order. I think we as Members, when we first got to the House, we are going to work together. I think we have got to continue to do that and not to surp

Medical Travel  Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Today, I would like to speak about medical travel services with the Department of Health and Social Services. It seems that medical travel is quickly becoming one of the top issues that my constituents have to deal with. I am constantly, almost on a daily

Question 105-19(2): Medical Travel Claim Forms  Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. The medical travel expense claim form in its current format is not user-friendly, and it has been reported to me that they are hard to understand and to fill out, causing unnecessary delays.

Question 105-19(2): Medical Travel Claim Forms  Thank you for the response from the Minister. Again, not quite what I wanted to hear, but at least I am glad she is open to some dialogue to listen to my suggestions. I do have some suggestions, but that will be for another time. You did mention a new accounting software. I belie

Question 105-19(2): Medical Travel Claim Forms  Thank you, Minister, for that very detailed answer. On the form here, it says, four to six weeks. I guess I didn't really quite get an answer. In addition to this four to six weeks that it states on the form, is there an additional delay for claimants?

Question 105-19(2): Medical Travel Claim Forms  My apologies. I will just repeat myself here again. The form here says, four to six weeks in its current state. With the new implementation of SAM, is this going to be in addition to the four to six weeks on top of this that claimants will have to wait? Another 30 days?
