Mr. Speaker, the position of this government is clear. We have to negotiate an agreement with the two parties. The GNWT has a responsibility and obligation to implement a pay equity and bias-free gender workplace, which we believe we are doing. We have offered to the union, in a joint union committee and government committee, to work through some of the minor issues we have with respect to this. I see no requirement at this stage of the game for a third party to be involved in evaluating this situation. This should be evaluated by the partners in the process, GNWT and the UNW. The answer is no.
