Mr. Chairman, just to make the point that these are public figures, the territorial court judges make a little over $100,000 a year, $108,000 which is considerably less, in most people's opinions, than what they would make if they were in private practice. This, the Territorial Legislature provides the funds for. The N.W.T. Supreme Court judges make $152,000 a year, and this the federal government provides the funds for.

Just one point I would like to bring up with regard to legal aid, or court workers, is the court workers also have limits to their budgets. At times, when the court circuits are travelling to the communities, they have to find their own way, because the court circuit does not accommodate for those people to travel with the same charter. I thought I would bring it up because, on several occasions, court workers have told me that even judges chartering to different communities for court would not allow these court workers to travel with them. It is a concern I have, in a time of restraint they should really look at making sure, that wherever possible, either they share charters, or accommodate those workers.

Mr. Chairman, I understand the judges and lawyers, the head of the court workers, are all presently working to address this. Everybody has agreed, that court workers should get some priority status in travelling in the court circuits. They are trying to work out some agreeable arrangements.
