Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, it has been recognized that with our fragmented system of human resource management throughout the Government of the Northwest Territories, many issues of this nature do arise. That is why we have taken the effort to pull that together so that we will have a better process in place, and the same interpretations of our rules would be enforced, worked on and delivered. We do recognize that and are working to make that better so that all employees would have the same understanding of what is available to them.
I haven't been made aware of the specific issues of different areas, but in our manual it is fairly clear as to who is able to take leave and at what time. There is some discretion when it comes to maintaining whatever environment it is where we have staff working. We can't have everybody going off to different areas at the same time and leaving us unable to do the work that is required on a daily basis. There is some discretion in existing policies, but, yes, we are working to ensure that everybody will have the same understanding. Thank you.
