Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since that money is collecting interest, I suppose we will have a little bit more to spend later on that we would have normally had with that interest. Mr. Speaker, since the Minister is committing to bring this information, could he also commit that the central agency would actually place the students because if the central agency does not place the students there is a possibility that people will not actually be getting jobs on a fair basis. Since then the departments can cherry-pick the students that they wish? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could I ask the Member for clarification on his question? He is talking about a central agency for government jobs in Yellowknife?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I had asked about a central hiring agency and there was an indication that, particularly in large centres like Yellowknife, and then one of the coordinators from the central agency in Yellowknife spoke about it. What I would like is a commitment from Cabinet, from the Minister that it will actually be the central agency that places the students so that we can try to reassure the students that they will be treated fairly, because it is not fair that the students are going to be putting their names faithfully into the central agency and then they are not placed fairly by an independent agency such as that central agency. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue that the Member asked is an important one. The information I have is that there is a central agency where they drop off resumes and such. Whether, in fact, the central agency, in fact, does the placement among all the boards and agencies, I am unsure of. I will take the Member's concerns into consideration and I will pass them on to the Premier's office and will ensure that they are given the attention they deserve. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

1. Could the Premier table in the Legislative Assembly, at the earliest opportunity, the polices that detail the remuneration and benefits to the Members of Cabinet?

2. Could the Premier provide the total annual cost to this government, of providing remuneration and benefits directly to Cabinet?

3. Could the Premier provide a detailed statement by fiscal year indicating by Minister the amounts received directly and indirectly by each of those who served as Minister or Premier since the beginning of the 13th Assembly and up until March 31, 1999.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
