Mr. Speaker, today I am presenting a petition signed by employees from Grise Fiord. This petition states that the members of the Union of Northern Workers are not the cause of the deficit. Cutting positions and wage rollbacks are not the solution. Cutbacks will bring widespread hardship to each northern community. Private enterprise works for profit, and privatization will cost more. The petitioners believe it's your duty to oppose the cut-and-slash policy adopted by the Government of the Northwest Territories in contract negotiations with the Union of Northern Workers. Petition No. 8-13(3) has been signed by 16 people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
