Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister of FMBS. It is further to the questions that I asked yesterday, which I am afraid I wasn't as clear, so the Minister was able to get away with very vague answers. I want to re-ask that. Mr. Speaker, I learned recently that, in fact, the appeal process we have for the GNWT employees are very one-sided. It is a process that the union has not agreed to. It is a process where union representatives can't even sit in on an appeal of an employee and that there are lots of areas step by step in the appeal process that the union does not agree with, but it has not been able to make any inroads in changing to address that imbalance.
Mr. Speaker, in answering my questions yesterday, Mr. Roland said something like this, and I quote from unedited Hansard on page 1899, "The area of staffing appeals is one area that we recognize has some problems, and we're beginning work on potential changes to that process and setting it up so that we can, in fact, look at trying to streamline this and be a little more proactive and
productive in this area," et cetera. My point of this quote is, Mr. Speaker, when you hear something like "we are getting there" and "we are discussing the potential changes" and "we will look into it," we know that it will be 10 or 20 years before we see any action. So I would like to know, Mr. Speaker, what the Minister could offer in terms of any kind of concrete action he has taken as Minister of FMBS to address this imbalance. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
