From the press release, we are to understand that the creation of this Secretariat will “foster greater clarity, accountability, and consistency in the territory’s pandemic response. The Secretariat will be responsible for border compliance, enforcement, Protect NWT, 811, isolation centers, and personal protective equipment.” Our understanding of the announcement indicates that this Secretariat will be staffed by permanent employees “The Secretariat will be staffed by 150 full-time, part-time, and relief positions. The government is working on a breakdown of how many of those 150 positions will be new hires.” This announcement has raised several concerns from the business community. Thus far, the total cost of a new GNWT division is budgeted at $86m; $23.4m from the Federal Government funding that was earmarked to better prepare our healthcare system. The primary justification for our extensively restrictive regulations, rules, and policies regarding COVID-19 was not to overburden an already taxed health system. Thus, we feel the $23.4m would be better allocated to better preparing the healthcare system, not creating another unnecessary level of bureaucracy. The business community is very concerned about creating a division in the Health and Social Services department six months into a pandemic and five months since our last case.

    Tłı̨chǫ All-Season Access Road Contract

    TD 124-19(2) TABLED ON JUNE 3, 2020 June 3, 2020 MR. JACKSON LAFFERTY MLA, MONFWI Oral Question 45-19(2) Tłı̨chǫ All-Season Access Road Contract This letter is in follow-up to the Oral Question raised on February 11, 2020, regarding the Tłı̨chǫ All-Season Road (TASR) Project Agreement local content requirements and the catering contract for the project. I committed to clarifying the catering services contract, as well as providing more information on contract monitoring to ensure hiring and contracting targets are being met. The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) has a Public-Private Partnership (P3) Project Agreement with North Star Infrastructure (NSI) to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the TASR. NSI hired Kiewit to deliver the design-build portion of the project. Kiewit tendered the catering contract for the construction period; the contract was subsequently awarded to Aramark, a large American food service and facilities provider. Under the P3 model, the Project Company and its sub-contractors are responsible for their own tendering processes, but are also responsible for meeting the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement. Aramark initially contracted Denendeh Food Services to supply food for the small construction camp located at kilometer (km) 0 of the project. When the large construction camp was established at km 19, a subsequent Request for Proposals was issued for food services. Only distributors that could meet the service and quality standards of Aramark were invited to bid, and these were mainly large regional and national providers. Denendeh Food Services was not eligible to bid as they do not meet Aramark’s standards.

    No Advance Notice of GNWT Plan to Allow Schools to Re-Open, Educators and Mlas Say By: Blair Mcbride

    MLA JULIE GREEN – YELLOWKNIFE CENTRE – IN THE MEDIA No advance notice of GNWT plan to allow schools to re-open, educators and MLAs say By: Blair McBride NNSL – May 13 2020 Link: https://nnsl.com/yellowknifer/education-boards-and-parents-not-informed-of-gnwt-plan-to- allow-schools-to-re-open-mla-lafferty-says/ The GNWT’s Emerging Wisely plan on relaxing some Covid-related restrictions on public life came as a relief to many people, but the news about opening schools led to confusion and surprise among the public, educators and some MLAs. A joint letter issued on Wednesday evening from the five education boards in the Yellowknife area said they learned about the GNWT’s plan to open schools at the same time as the rest of the public, and were surprised and “still processing this development” along with many staff, students, parents and stakeholders. Yellowknife Education District No. 1, Yellowknife Catholic Schools (YCS), la Commission scolaire francophone Territories du Nord-Ouest, Ndilo District Education Authority and Dettah District Education Authority were in close communication with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment on further direction about the plan, the letter said. Their sentiments stand in contrast to those of Premier Caroline Cochrane, who said in a news conference on Tuesday that Education Minister R.J. Simpson had been working closely with the school bodies and that they had been waiting for the new orders to be released. MLAs reaction to school plan Most MLAs were also surprised to hear about the plan for schools, said Jackson Lafferty, MLA for Monfwi in a Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight meeting on Wednesday morning.

    Women Achieve Parity in NWT Legislative Assembly Without Guaranteed Seats

    Feature Women Achieve Parity in NWT Legislative Assembly Without Guaranteed Seats In just one general election the Northwest Territories went from having the least representation by women in its Assembly to the most in the country. Moreover, women MLAs were elected to fill four of six cabinet positions and to be the premier. In this article, the author suggests these dramatic changes are a response, in part, to a significant discussion and debate members of the previous legislative assembly undertook to improve women’s participation and representation in the territory. She reviews the proposal for temporary special measures as a way to build representation, 2019 CanLIIDocs 4025 outlines other recommendations MLAs made to encourage more women to participate in territorial politics, and explains why this environment ultimately led many more women to put their names on the ballot in 2019. Julie Green, MLA hen the revolution finally began, it was swift This change, from being behind to being ahead in and decisive. On October 1, the Northwest women’s representation at the territorial government Territories moved from having the least level, was not a fluke but the result of a consistent W th representation by women (11 per cent) to the most (47 effort of Members of the 18 Assembly to improve the per cent) in a Canadian legislature.

JACKSON LAFFERTY MLA, MONFWI Oral Question 481-19(2): Elders Housing This letter is in follow-up to the Oral Question you raised on November 05, 2020 regarding Eider's Housing. The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation (NWTHC) has introduced programming that is specifically focused on the needs of seniors. This includes the Seniors Aging-In-Place Retrofit Program, Fuel Tank Replacement, and our Preventative Maintenance Program. Further, at the start of this year, the NWTHC has introduced amendments to housing repair program policies aimed specifically at seniors. These amendments remove the requirement for home insurance and formal land tenure in communities outside of the larger centres. Additionally, the assessment of household income will only consider the incomes of seniors who own their homes, and not the incomes of other familymembers. Regarding the number of programs accessed by residents of the Monfwi riding, a total of 116 applications were approved in 2020-2021. This includes 65 in Behchok(>, 21 in Gameti, 05 in Wekweeti and 25 in Whati. Further to that we approved 21 applications under the Seniors Aging-In-Place Retrofit Program, and 32 Emergency Repair applications. The NWTHC will be reaching out to the TlichQ Government this spring to discuss opportunities around pursuing opportunities through the Community Housing Support to have a community-based repair program for seniors that is offered locally and in the TlichQ language. The NWTHC is exploring options and associated costs with providing program materials in the Tlicho language.
