Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I negotiated the contract with the former chief of staff.

Thank you, and just for confirmation, was the Premier acting as the Minister responsible for the public service at this time?

Thank you. In this contract is there a waiver essentially relinquishing the right for the former chief of staff to take further action against the GNWT for damages?

Thank you. I think, as we have indicated before, we really cannot discuss the details of that contract. The third party would have to have the ability to have a say in whether any of the terms of that contract were disclosed.

I believe on Friday Mr. Handley disclosed that there was an amount paid within this contract, and there was another amount essentially paid to waive the right to go after damages, so I am assuming that would mean that there is a waiver in this contract. I guess I am just looking for a yes or no. I do not want the details of the money or any of these kinds of things, just was there a waiver?

Mr. Chairman, I will check with Hansard, but I do not believe that I had said anything to that effect with regard to the chief of staff's contract specifically. I was talking generally about these contracts and I answered, I believe, in much the same way I did to an earlier question on this matter. Thank you.

Thank you. Generally in these at pleasure contracts, can the Minister tell me if there is typically a waiver relinquishing the right of the former employee to take action against the GNWT for damages?

Mr. Chairman, yes typically in these termination agreements there would be such a clause. Thank you.

Thank you. I am curious. When I asked the question as to whether or not there was a confidentiality clause, the answer was yes. When I asked the question as to whether or not there was a waiver clause the answer is, "We cannot disclose that without third party approval." I am wondering, why the inconsistency?
