Thank you, Madam Speaker. One of my constituents in Nanisivik is a heavy equipment operator for the Government of the Northwest Territories who has been sick for quite a while. He has a claim for disability insurance which is not yet resolved. The government is charging rent. I understand my constituent was not paid a salary at all by the government for three pay periods in a row.

Would the Minister responsible for the Financial Management Secretariat please advise this House whether it is the GNWT's policy to recover all of a person's wages for money the government claims it is owed? Thank you.
