Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This modest amount is just an initial step towards improving the workplace in the GNWT. We do think that the people who are in the best position to tell us what we need to do to make the workplace a better environment are our employees. This initial money is to set up a series of focus groups and sessions with employees throughout the Territories, and with their union representatives, to work through what changes should be made to the workplace and what priority should be assigned to those changes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for clarification on this issue. This is a matter that was raised during the winter session as the budget was going through. Members had identified and heard the concerns of municipalities in the area of insurance. It is good to see that we are reacting to ensure that the communities are not negatively impacted by a decision made that impacts Canada overall. My question is, is this a continuing process? Will this be identified in the main estimates as forced growth? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, this is forced growth. We did not have the detail we needed in order to put it into the mains. I would hope that in future years, it can be included in our mains.
