La ministre de l’Infrastructure, Caroline Wawzonek, a fait la déclaration suivante aujourd’hui concernant la demande de majoration tarifaire générale déposée par la Société d’énergie des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (SETNO) :
Une nouvelle initiative pancanadienne, Parcours vers l’enseignement Canada, a été lancée aux Territoires du Nord-Ouest (TNO) pour simplifier l’évaluation des diplômes et des compétences linguistiques des éducateurs formés à l’étranger.
La participation du gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO) à Parcours vers l’enseignement Canada lui permettra de surmonter les obstacles liés au recrutement des éducateurs. Cette initiative facilitera le processus d’embauche, dont l’évaluation des diplômes, des éducateurs formés à l’étranger pour les organismes scolaires ténois.
Le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO) a mis en place un nouvel outil pour faire face à la crise actuelle de toxicité des drogues et à la contamination des drogues illicites. L’outil d’analyse MultiSTAT de Randox, désormais utilisé par le Service du coroner, permet d’accélérer le dépistage toxicologique des substances impliquées dans les décès suspects, ce qui aide le Bureau du coroner en chef et le Bureau de l’administrateur en chef de la santé publique à prendre des mesures rapides pour protéger le public.

Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about gender-based violence. Two out of 100 residents in the NWT have reported intimate partner and family violence to the police. As of 2019, Statistics Canada lists the NWT as having the second highest rate of police-reported intimate partner and family violence in Canada, and we know that not everyone reports these incidents to the police.
Women are disproportionally affected by gender-based violence.

[Mr. Speaker, genuine education is rooted in place and culture, and it cannot be nurtured in isolation. As the guiding piece of legislation for our Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 education system, it is essential that the Education Act includes the voices and perspectives of Indigenous governments and our education partners.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to provide an update on the challenges faced this year in maintaining the Northwest Territories' supply chain and the steps our government is taking to address them.
Our territory has been hit hard by a combination of record low-water levels, wildfires, rail disruptions, and added strain on our winter road systems. These issues have impacted the delivery of fuel, goods and services to our communities.
But, Mr. Speaker, I want to assure you and the residents of the NWT that we have taken decisive action.

Mr. Speaker, when students have food security, they can focus on learning, growing, and participating within their school communities; and most importantly, on being kids.
To help students succeed, the Government of Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories are working towards signing a three-year funding agreement that will support the expansion of the NWT school food program: Healthy Food for Learning.

Mr. Speaker, the cost of delivering health and social services is increasing faster than our resources can handle, at a time when our government is also facing additional costs related to climate change and inflationary pressures. This is why the delivery of sustainable health and social services is an important part of this government’s mandate, and the priorities of the 20th Legislative Assembly.
