The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is announcing that ReLeaf NT and Trailblazers Cannabis Shop will be opening private retail cannabis stores in Yellowknife.
ReLeaf NT will operate at 5123 51st Street in Yellowknife. ReLeaf was the successful proponent through the GNWT’s public procurement process for cannabis retailers in Yellowknife.
Infrastructure projects will play a significant role in the economic recovery of the Northwest Territories post-COVID-19. These Estimates inject money into the economy and provide business and employment opportunities for residents, while delivering the critical infrastructure the NWT needs to provide important programs and services.

Mr. Speaker, in February during the delivery of the Budget Speech I said it was time to use creativity and innovation to find internal efficiencies. Since then, our government has had to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and in my last two fiscal updates since the onset of COVID-19, I have again said that now is the time to use creativity and use this moment of heightened awareness around our fiscal situation to consider how we want to emerge from the pandemic as a government and as a Territory.
Minister of Finance, Caroline Wawzonek, today released a ‘What We Heard Report’ that summarizes the feedback received from participants in the July 2020 Budget Dialogues.
Mr. Speaker, in addition to describing these times as unprecedented, the need to “pivot” business models and methods has become one of the buzz words during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Speaker, this government is committed to making its programs, services and functions accessible to people in as many ways as possible. We are also committed to keeping up with the worldwide shift towards online portals to access information and services of all kinds.
Our goal is that to the greatest extent possible, people should be able to access Government of the Northwest Territories’ programs and services how they want, where they want, and when they want.

I rise today to provide a fiscal update but in doing so, I want also to speak about one of the most valuable economic resources that exists across the whole of the Northwest Territories: resiliency.
