Newsroom
Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to share with you an exciting initiative that will move forward some of our government’s top priorities – enabling Aboriginal youth to achieve their potential through quality education and developing home-grown solutions to our labour market challenges.
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak on the topic of child and family services.
Mr. Speaker, the development of the NWT Economic Opportunities Strategy was an important step in setting the stage for the pending devolution of responsibilities for lands and resources to the GNWT.
Mr. Speaker, with its guaranteed advances, prime fur bonus and grubstake, the GNWT’s Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program is the envy of the Canadian trapping industry. The returns of this small but dynamic, made-in-the-NWT program to our trapping industry continue to impress.
Good afternoon, I’d like to welcome you all to today’s devolution information session on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories. With me today are Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment David Ramsay and Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Michael Miltenberger.
Good afternoon everyone, it is a pleasure to be here. Along with my colleagues from the Northwest Territories, we are enjoying our time at the Beijing Fur Fair and at the International Fur Trade Federation events.
Thank you, I’m pleased to be here today to speak to you about the economic potential of the Northwest Territories in Canada’s Arctic.
(September 11, 2013) - Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a pleasure to welcome you back to Yellowknife as we celebrate the 21st year of this conference.
Good morning. Bienvenue à Yellowknife. Welcome to Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories. Welcome to Canada’s energy storehouse.
