Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of pay equity in the collective bargaining process. Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 62 signatures of residents of Inuvik. Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request:

1. To have the GNWT separate the pay equity complaint from the current collective bargaining process.

2. To have the GNWT refer to an impartial arbitration panel on the matter of the gender neutrality of the job evaluation system now being proposed in the collective bargaining process.
