Mr. Speaker, it's certainly my intention to have some advice given to this Cabinet on the approaches that would be necessary for us to proceed with the amendments or the development of new labour standards legislation. What is important to us is that there are a whole bunch of new partners in the whole matter of employment management. The Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, for instance, under the agreement, has arrangements for employment through negotiated agreements. There are situations where new legislation is required for conditions of employment. Generally throughout the Northwest Territories, we're talking about the whole issue of division.

I also want to say to the honourable Member, I'm hoping that this round table discussion will lead to some basic principles for the development of new legislation, but also could lead to a blueprint for the new government to action. In other words, it will lay the framework. What I'm trying to do is get public input into laying out a framework; not only action on our part, but laying out some direction. That, in my view, is a much more substantive approach.

The other component, Mr. Speaker, and the honourable Member has mentioned this, is the ongoing consultative process. I would like to see the advice of the group as to how we might approach this matter. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
