Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am glad that we have this report in the House and that maybe it will be the catalyst for the Regular Members and Cabinet to move ahead to bring some progress to this particular issue. There are some recommendations in there that I think will enable us to do that and I hope they are well received by Cabinet, and that the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight is ready to go.
I think there is a general sense, from what I have heard talking to people out in the public service, that they would like some clear direction, some united direction from the Legislative Assembly on this very critical issue. Not just what kind of entity may be created to deal with appeals or other such related issues, but also the broader human resource strategy issues as they pertain to all employees in the Northwest Territories -- the civil service, the Affirmative Action Program and all the areas that were identified as needing work by the Grant Thornton report.
I am pleased that we are at this point and hope we can move forward with some alacrity here to demonstrate to the civil service and the people of the Northwest Territories that we as a Legislature are prepared to take decisive action. Thank you.
