Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Let me say first of all that this piece of legislation applies to all government employees regardless of where they may work. In terms of which size of community or anywhere in the Territories, it applies to all government employees. The issue that Mr. Krutko is referring to is really an issue of wage parity and I am not sure, in fact I would say that this is not the right piece of legislation to be able to achieve what he wants. If what you want is to address an issue of wage parity -- and by wage parity we mean having comparable wages with municipal governments, with boards, with other agencies as we do with government employees -- then that is a very complex matter to deal with because we are beginning to get into the employer/employee relationships that other agencies have, whether it is a board or a municipal government or whatever it may be. It is one that I think we could undertake if there is a will to do it, but I would say that we should not go there unless we have done a thorough assessment of what the issues are, what the extent of the impact would be and what the best means of addressing it is. It may mean that labour standards would have to change, that municipal legislation might have to change. Or it may mean that we would have to fund other governments or other agencies differently than we do right now.
So, Mr. Chairman, I am not saying we should not do this, I am just saying that if we are going to do it then it is complex. It may be the amount of money we provide to other agencies and governments. It may be their own legislation. It may be the relationships and arrangements that they have with their employees. But it is much more complex than this piece of legislation. What legislation would we have to put in place in order to do that? I am not sure. It might be municipal legislation. It might be some sort of labour standards act. But it certainly would be beyond just doing a simple amendment to this piece of legislation. Thank you.
