Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board Secretariat. If I heard him right earlier today, Mr. Speaker, the Minister said that the Internet policy of the government was not black and white. I would like to quote from that policy, Mr. Speaker: "Using the Internet for any activities that are not job related, e.g. searching or browsing for material of personal interest, is not acceptable." Contrast that, Mr. Speaker, with the policy on phone use. The GNWT acknowledge the requirement for employees to have reasonable use of government phones for personal reasons. Why will the Minister not take the same approach to Internet use that the government does to the use of phones?
