Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think that has been the problem all along, where we have been disassociating ourselves from the federal government. It has always been them and us and I think we as a government with responsibility for health and social services and to ensure programs and services to all residents of the Northwest Territories should not be splitting people up because of race, creed or whatever.

I would like to ask the Minister, when will she have an idea of what the actual pay levels will be and what cost is the federal government willing to pay? Thank you
