Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a written question to the Minister of Personnel. Would the Minister of Personnel consider the following request:
1) Request that each department develop a formal plan which identifies casual work requirements to be filled by northern summer students in Yellowknife and in the regions?
2) Would the Minister evaluate and assess each department based on these plans?
3) Would the Minister consider using unutilized casual hire positions to recruit summer students?
4) Would the Minister consider developing career-building workshops for all summer students hired by the Government of the NWT?
