Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the honourable Member is asking about what can we do so that the Giant Mine workers' pension problem does not occur again in the future. He asked again about our Fair Practices Act. Earlier on in a statement, another honourable Member talked about our Labour Standards Act.

In the Fair Practices Act in this government, this department is preparing a legislative proposal for a consultation paper and the preparation of draft human rights legislation to replace the Fair Practices Act. The human rights legislation would be there to deal with complaints and dispute resolution systems within Canada, which is similar to other places in Canada and that would also be suitable for the Northwest Territories.

So, in that light, it deals with equal pay for equal value and so forth, whereas the Labour Standards Act, which was referred to earlier on in one of the statements in regard to dealing with the issue of the Giant Mine workers, this piece of legislation is seriously outdated and in need of a major overhaul.

There was an attempt back in the 80s. There was a three man commission formed to look at this. As you know, the late Jim Evoy was part of this commission. During the time of his death, they were proposing the formation of a tripartite committee. At that time, there was a pressing nature of Nunavut being created and so forth, so this piece of legislation was put on hold.

Perhaps we should look at the Labour Standards Act and try to do some revisions to that legislation to deal with this type of situation, rather than dealing with the Human Rights Act. Thank you.
