Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the reason for this tariff was that it was identified to us by the Department of Personnel that if two employees of government, one of the federal government, and one of the territorial government, lived in similar sized houses adjacent to one another in the same community, and they were both transferred on the same day, the moving company would come and pick up the federal employee at one rate, and move his or her effects to their next destination, and then come back and pick up the territorial government employee, and the rates were substantially more. Now, I believe the Department of Personnel investigated this with other jurisdictions, and suggested to the Financial Management Board that there seemed to be some difference in the rates that we were being charged, and the federal government was being charged. There was an examination. I am not able to tell the Member if there were
consultations with the moving industry prior to, but certainly the thing was examined, and the moving industry has been consulted since the report has been adopted. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
