Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Safety and Public Services. Mr. Speaker, the other day I asked about the safety of air tanker officers under section 13(1) of the Safety Act. The Minister's response today indicated that the Safety Act of the Northwest Territories does not apply to air attack crews because safety issues concerned with aircraft and airline transportation are dealt with in the Canada Labour Code.

Mr. Speaker, air attack officers are GNWT employees, so what responsibility does our government have, taking into consideration that these individuals are our employees? Why don't they fall under the NWT Safety Act? Thank you.
