Thank you, Madam Chair. I would appreciate receiving that information and it would give me some indication as to whether the government is being more efficient as far as the number of employees that were working in it. I would refer, Madam Chair, to Hansard of March 5, 1997, in which the Premier response to a question on the socio-economic impact benefits agreement. The Premier had made
the comment and had offered encouragement to people in the Northwest Territories. I very much supported the statement and was hoping to hear more of a similar statements from the Premier where he was referring to the people of the Northwest Territories that they had a responsibility to participate in the workforce. If I can quote what the Minister said, "the people themselves, the young people of the Northwest Territories, have a responsibility that you better be on the plane when your time is to go to work. You better be there every time that you are supposed to be there". What I was wanting to do, Madam Chair, is to encourage the Premier to make more statements like that and to encourage the people of the Northwest Territories that they have to present themselves to employers and to let employers know that, yes in fact, I am interested in working for you, and I am interested in having a job every day. That was more of an encouragement to the Premier to make more of those statements. Thank you, Madam Chair.
