Question 560-12(7): Departmental Responsibility For Glo Positions
Item 6: Oral Questions

Titus Allooloo Amittuq

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier with respect to GLOs. I appreciate the answers that I have received from the government in terms of the reduction that took place that affected GLOs in the communities. I wonder if the Premier would be able to give me the services that GLOs provide to the departments. Which departments in our government contributed to pay for and accommodate GLOs in the communities in terms of paying their salaries and their benefits? Which departments will contribute to pay for them? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, as I have indicated, I will provide a listing. In that listing will be a status of what the individual employee has done, what he has accepted; also, the reason why I indicated that I would provide that information and circulate it is because it is a bit lengthy and it also provides the information that the honourable Member has been asking for on which department has offered to share certain positions with the GLO. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Premier's answer. The GLO would do work for all the departments, such as Social Services and Transportation -- in terms of issuing drivers' licences; vehicle permits; that sort of thing. Since the government contracts POL to private contractors, GLOs have to make reports to support what's happening in terms of oil being delivered to houses. As well, GLOs are expected to be part of Personnel with regard to interviewing, to set guidelines. With all of these departments requiring government work to be done in the community and expecting GLOs to participate, would they be able to contribute to the cost of having GLOs in the community? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, if possible, I would like clarification. Is the Member seeking further information, in addition to what I had planned to distribute, about exactly what the GLO position is doing at this point in time, Mr. Speaker?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is, would the departments that require work to be done in the communities and ask the GLOs to do it for them, be able to contribute to the cost of having a GLO in a community? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, what I will do is provide further information, in addition to what I said I would provide on what exactly each position is doing. This is an Executive position. When we looked at the Executive's needs and what the positions would do for the Executive, the idea was that they would be half-time positions. However, all the departments were asked if there were additional needs so that they could finance the position further, to bring the positions up to full-time positions again. I will also provide that information, Mr. Speaker.
