Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that has been the case and they have informed employees that should be done. In some cases, some of the employees have done that, those who could afford to travel at that time. Mr. Speaker, this would impact 15 employees. Some are no longer with the Government of the Northwest Territories. As a result of this, they felt that this employer was not a worthy employer to work for, so they left to find other sources of employment.
What we can do now in this new day and new government, the 14th Assembly, is to honour the commitment that was made when this agreement was signed. These employees were entitled to two trips per year. It was a five-year agreement that expired in 1999-2000.
So will the Minister...I am not asking him to once again tell employees to show your receipts. In some cases, they have done that and they have been turned down. I want to know, will the Minister re-look at this issue? I believe the money was transferred to the government of the day, so will you look at reinstating it and giving them what they are entitled to? Thank you.
