Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight has reviewed Bill 15, An Act to Amend the Northwest Territories Power Corporation Act and the Public Service Act, and held a public hearing on November 9, 2000. There were no comments or presentations made by the public or any other stakeholder. Bill 15 amends the Northwest Territories Power Corporation Act to provide that effective April 1, 2001, the Government of Nunavut will become responsible for the severance, benefits, pay and compensation for the former employees of the Northwest Territories Power Corporation who work in Nunavut. The consequential amendment to the Public Service Act removes a previous amendment that allowed the employees of the Northwest Territories Power Corporation to be employed in Nunavut. Similar legislation has been introduced and passed in the Nunavut Legislature. The Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight had no significant concerns with the amendments proposed in Bill 15. Individual members of the committee may have comments or questions as we proceed. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
