Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me assure the Member that we'll look at any proposal that is presented to this government on privatization. We do, as far as I'm concerned, have to look at our present employees and, as my honourable colleague, Mr. Todd, has said, we have to look at all our employees and try to minimize any lay-offs that we have to do. Then, through privatization, if the employees can continue to work and continue to gain
meaningful employment in the Northwest Territories, then we should try our best to accommodate them because they are the ones who have worked for many years for this government and we do, I believe, owe them something.
