As the minister will be aware, the Auditor General of Canada recently issued a report on the topic of civil aviation infrastructure in the north.

Earlier this month a question was asked in the Senate of Canada on this issue. The government’s representative in the Senate responded by stating, and I quote, “The Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate specifically recognizes the unique challenges faced by Northern and remote communities with respect to pricing carbon pollution, compared to the rest of Canada, including high costs of living and of energy, food security, and emerging economies. (…) As part of this effort, a study to assess the implications of carbon pricing for the territories is expected to be launched this spring and completed in the fall.”

As the minister is aware, sections 5 to 9 of the Emergency Measures Act, which was passed in 2007, are still not in force.

Once in force, sections 5 to 8 of the Act will require that all departments, public agencies, and municipal corporations to prepare emergency management plans.

During our recent winter sitting, members were informed that almost all municipal corporations had completed their emergency management plans.

Mr. Speaker, can the minister tell us if all government departments and public agencies have completed emergency management plans?

There are three communities that do not have it yet, that is, Pangnirtung, Pond Inlet, and Kugaaruk.

The training for the two communities in Baffin has been done and the training for Kugaaruk is planned for either the summer or fall of 2017.

Once these are done, all of the communities will have their emergency management plans completed and approved.

Once in force, section 9 of the Emergency Measures Act will mandate that municipal and departmental emergency management plans “shall be made available to the public for inspection during ordinary business hours at an office of the government institution or municipal corporation.”

Can the minister tell us if those emergency management plans that have already been completed are currently being made available for the public to access?

My understanding is yes, the ones that are done would be available for the public to view at their hamlet office.

The emergency management plans are a community document. It’s a plan on how the community would act in an emergency and what resources they have to deal with the emergency and where they can get more help if they need be.


ᑭᒃᑯᑐᐃᓐᓇᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᓕᓐᓂ ᑐᐊᕕᕐᓇᖅᑐᓕᕆᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐸᕐᓇᐅᑎᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᑕᑯᔭᖅᑐᕈᒪᒐᐃᑉᐸᑕ ᑕᑯᔭᖅᑐᖃᑦᑕᕈᓐᓇᖅᑐᐃᑦ ᕼᐋᒻᓚᒃᑯᖏᑕ ᐊᓪᓚᕝᕕᖏᓐᓄᑦ, ᑕᑯᔪᒪᓗᑎᒃ.

If any members would like to look at the emergency management plan in their community that is done, my understanding is they can just go to the municipal office and ask to view it.

Can the minister tell us if the government plans to bring sections 5 to 9 of the Emergency Measures Act into force before the dissolution of this Legislative Assembly in September?


ᐅᖃᖅᑏ, ᐅᖃᖅᑲᐅᒐᒪ ᑕᐃᒪ ᑖᓐᓇ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᖅᑎᑦᑎᓂᐅᓚᐅᖅᑐᖅ ᑭᖑᓪᓕᖅᐹᒥ ᓄᓇᓕᒻᒥ ᐊᐅᔭᐅᑉ ᓄᙳᐊᓂ, ᐅᕝᕙᓘᓐᓃᑦ ᐅᑭᐊᔅᓵᖅ 2017, ᑕᐃᒪ ᐱᔪᓐᓇᕐᓂᓕᒫᑦᑎᓐᓄᑦ.

As I stated earlier, the last training session for the last community will be in either late summer or the fall of 2017.


ᑖᓐᓇ ᐱᔭᕇᖅᓯᒪᓇᓱᓐᓂᐊᖅᑕᕗᑦ ᑭᓯᐊᓂ ᐅᖃᖅᓯᒪᔪᓐᓇᖏᓐᓇᒪ ᐃᒪᓐᓇ ᐱᓕᕆᐊᖑᒐᔭᕋᓗᐊᕐᒪᖔᖅ, ᐃᒪᓐᓇ ᓈᒻᒪᒋᔭᐅᔪᒥᒃ ᑭᖑᓪᓕᖅᐹᒥ ᓄᓇᓕᒻᒧᑦ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᖅᑎᑦᑎᓂᖅ ᑕᐃᒪ ᐱᔭᕇᖅᓵᓕᖅᐸᑦ, ᐱᓕᕆᐊᖑᓂᐊᖅᐳ.

We will do our best to make sure that’s completed, but I can’t make any commitments as to whether it will be done or not because we have to arrange for a mutual time for the training to be done for the last community. If it’s done in a timely manner and it gets done, then it will be done.


ᑕᐃᒪᓕ ᓂᕆᐅᓇᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᐱᔭᕇᕈᓐᓇᖏᔾᔪᑎᖃᕈᑦᑕ ᑭᖑᕙᕆᐊᕆᐊᖃᕋᔭᖅᑐᖅ ᑭᓯᐊᓂ ᑕᐃᒪᓕ ᐊᑐᓕᖅᑎᑕᐅᑉᐸᑦ ᑕᐃᒪ ᐱᔪᓐᓇᖅᓯᑐᐊᕈᑦᑕ ᐱᓕᕆᐊᕆᔪᒪᓯᒪᔭᕗᑦ.

If we have unforeseen circumstances to keep us from getting the training done, then it would have to be delayed, but it will come into force and we plan to have this done as soon as we can.

Mr. Speaker, during our recent winter sitting the minister informed me that her department is continuing to look at the need to relocate Kimmirut’s airport. As the minister will be aware, this issue was noted in the Auditor General of Canada’s recent report on civil aviation infrastructure in the north.

Mr. Speaker, the recent federal budget indicated that, and I quote, “investments will also be made to resolve critical transportation needs in Canada’s north...” I would like to ask the minister if she can indicate if her department will be submitting Kimmirut’s airport relocation as a priority project under this new federal investment plan.

Also to answer the member’s question, the department will ensure that the relocation of the Kimmirut Airport project receives full consideration under the Government of Nunavut’s capital plan.

Sometimes when we’re dealing with federal funds, before we can submit an application for funding, those funds have to be in the capital plan of our own government.

In some communities it’s difficult for CJOWs to focus on their work. Under the contribution agreement, they may be asked to do other work for the hamlet. In this case they would just focus on the work that the Department of Justice requires them to do.

Of course the Government of Nunavut appreciates all the hard volunteer work that community justice committees provide in providing a continuum of justice from the community level and up.

Earlier this month plebiscites were held in the communities of Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay on the question of whether or not beer and wine stores should be opened in the communities.

In Rankin Inlet approximately 38 percent of eligible voters went to the polls; 372 votes were cast for the “yes” side of the question and 127 votes were cast for the “no” side of the question.

Voters in those communities spoke very loudly with their vote what they wanted, in this case a beer and wine store.

As I said, it was a non-binding plebiscite, so the government is not bound to move forward or anything on establishing a beer and wine store soon in either community.

It is likely that we will do some further consultations. We will have to look at putting regulations in the Liquor Act. We will also probably have to do additional consultations in the community to talk about how the beer and wine store would operate.

Based on my knowledge and experience here in Iqaluit with the Iqaluit Beer and Wine Store, that vote was on April 20 of 2015 and if the current plans are maintained, we won’t be opening a beer and wine store in Iqaluit until hopefully mid to late July of this year. That is over two years.

Again, we’re going to do some more consultations with people in the community, special interest groups, and the hamlet council and talk about hours of operation, days of operation, and other things that they may raise with us, just to make sure everybody understands what the beer and wine store would accomplish and how it will operate.

ᐃᒥᐊᓗᓐᓂᒃ ᓂᐅᕐᕈᑎᖃᖏᑦᑐᒍᑦ ᑕᐃᑲᓂ ᕕᐊᓂᒃ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᕙᐃᓂᓂᒃ.

It’s part of it, but we’re not selling liquor out of the beer and wine store. We’re selling beer and wine.

I have been on a couple of tours of the warehouse in Rankin Inlet and it’s a very nice facility.

I’m not an architect or engineer. This is my amateur assessment. I would say that it offers potential to be renovated to some degree to sell beer and wine, but again, I’m not an expert.

We have to fund these beer and wine store facilities through our Nunavut Liquor Commission Revolving Fund, so we will also be constrained by the amount of financing we have available. We don’t want to go to the Government of Nunavut seeking appropriation for doing renovations. We would try to do everything through our revolving fund.

Obviously if there’s an existing facility, then that in itself could help us open a beer and wine store without too much cost other than the cost of renovations.

It is important to note that from Kindergarten through grade 9, a student is either promoted from one grade to the next or retained in their current grade.

However, for reasons explained below related to the high school credit system and the unique path each student takes in moving through those grades, grade 9 is the last grade where promotion from one grade to the next, or retention in the current grade, happens in an absolute sense.
