Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to oral question asked by Mr. Ootes on September 18, 1998.
All new employees (including casuals) are required to sign an oath of office of secrecy when they start their employment with the government.
THE OATH OF OFFICE AND SECRECY IS AS FOLLOWS:
I, ______________________, solemnly and sincerely swear that I will faithfully and honestly fulfil the duties that devolve upon me by reason of my employment in the public service of the Northwest Territories and that I will not, without due authority, disclose or make known any matter that comes to my knowledge by reason of such employment. So help me God.
