Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the Minister of Personnel.
Would the Minister of Personnel please advise this House of the following:
1. Notices of lay-off were given this month to GLOs in the Baffin region. These notices gave GLOs five days to either accept or reject new half-time positions. What has been the response of GLOs to these lay-off notices and new job offers?
2. Will GLOs who refuse to accept the new half-time job offer be offered the benefit of the workforce adjustment policy?
3. Has the government undertaken a study of the daily work requirements of GLOs in the Baffin region? What were the results of that study?
4. What departments of the Government of the Northwest Territories have GLOs in Baffin communities been serving?
5. Are there any plans to have GLOs in the Baffin region deliver social services for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment in the coming fiscal year?
