Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Krutko points to one of the human resource and funding problems we have within the current system. We recognize the benefit of having one employer, which is why, in the South Slave, we are initiating attempts to bring in Lutselk'e, Fort Resolution and Hay River under the UNW and under the department as employees.

There is, as the Member pointed out, a discrepancy or a difference between what our government employees are paid and what NGOs are funded for their staff. I do not have a quick answer. I know that part of our human resource strategy deals with that issue, I know there are very modest increases built into the budget for salary increases for NGOs.

In terms of dealing with it to the extent that the Member has suggested, at this point, I do not have the numbers to put on the table to demonstrate what the cost would be. I know that there is a significant difference and we have to quantify that and plan best how to move ahead if we are going to address it.
