Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for the Liquor Board. Some time ago, I had the information that the Liquor Board had a few vacancies and those vacancies were needing to be filled, given the number of vacancies and the amount of work that the Liquor Board had to undertake. In its mandate, it was critical that these positions be filled as soon as possible. The Minister asked for nominations. I -- and others, I'm sure -- submitted nominations. I would like to ask the Minister what is the status of the vacancies on the Liquor Board.

The Speaker Samuel Gargan

Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to indicate that I have made the recommendations to first, retain those board members who are already on the board; and the recommendations are that Mrs. Crane, I believe, and Mr. Strang from Yellowknife, be appointed to the board, along with Mrs.

Mary Rose Casaway of Lutsel K'e. Those are the recommendations that I'm making.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for the reply. There has been some concern expressed on the make-up of the Liquor Board, and I would like to ask the Minister what balance of women to men are on the Liquor Board.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't know the balance. All I know is that, from the last two appointments that I've made, I've made appointments of two women and two men. But I will report back to the honourable Member.

Question 53-12(7): Status Of Glo Cutbacks
Item 6: Oral Questions

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Premier. At this time, I an undergoing some difficulty about our government liaison officers. I understand that there will be some cutbacks that will result in GLOs being laid off. I understand that this is to take effect on the 21st of this month. I just got this notice today, and it seems that I should have been told about these changes concerning government employees. I understand the money that they're making will be cut, and I just found this out today. I'm not sure what the situation really is, but it really took us by surprise. I'm just wondering, how long were you aware of these cutbacks and the lay-offs that are supposed to occur? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, in the budget preparation and the instructional review of what various government personnel do, it has been brought to the Standing Committee on Finance where we indicated that this was the general direction that we were going in. The appropriate notification was given because we do have to give advance notice. None of the changes are going to take place until April 1st. It's a notice of the intent to cut the government liaison officers' work and payment to half time. I know that some of the Members have had some difficulties, and what I've suggested is that if they are doing work other than the liaison officer work that is required, which is not determined to be full time, the regional director and Personnel should work with the community to see what else the GLO is doing; and, the respective departments should make sure that if the position or the person has been doing significant work in fields other than work as a liaison officer, we will be dealing with that between now and April. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this time, Mr. Speaker, on the 21st of this month, there is an agreement that will take effect. How much time were they given? Many of these employees have been working for a long time -- some for many years -- and this will cause a lot of problems for those people employed. There was some sort of agreement. Were they given adequate notice that the agreements were taking place soon? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, the reason that the notices went out was to give them adequate notice to respond. Like I said, the notices have gone out and the actual change in status would not take place until April 1st. Thank you.
