Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for Human Resources. If there was personal information including leave balances, salaries and social insurance numbers of MLAs and, in fact, of GNWT employees viewable through a PeopleSoft system which all GNWT employees had access to, I would like to know from the Minister if that occurred. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister of Human Resources, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

So, Mr. Speaker, then the Minister is denying that it was not possible for a casual employee at the Department of Health and Social Services to have access to MLAs' personal information at any time?

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the best of my knowledge, that has never happened. If it has happened, it hasn't been formally transmitted to the department so that we are aware of it.

Had something like that come to our attention, it would have been an issue that would have been a very serious concern and followed up.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in this day and age of all the attention to identity theft, if there was a breech of security on the PeopleSoft system, which would contain personal information about MLAs and Government of the Northwest Territories employees, what would be the protocol of the Department of Human Resources to ensure those people were notified of that breech? Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't know if we have run into a situation like that. I don't know what the exact protocol would be, but you can be assured that we would consider it to be a serious event and one that we would follow up on. But at this point, we have never been advised. In the past, I have heard rumours like the one that the Member has talked about. Every time we tried to follow up on it, we have never been able to find that it actually happened.

At this point, we don't actually believe that it has happened. If it is found to be otherwise, there will be a very serious review of the situation.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Thebacha, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are addressed to the Minister of Public Works and Services. It is in regards to an issue I raised in the last session about the concern brought to me about the negative impact on small businesses in the IT sector that had been impacted by the formation of the TSC. There was significant market disruption and things didn't balance out the way they were supposed to of no impact. The Minister indicated that they would do a review and see what the impact was, if any, and share those results. The Minister did promise it by April that he would give us a status of that undertaking. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Minister of Public Works and Services, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been working along with the Department of FMBS in regards to having this review overtaken by the office of the chief information officer because there may be a perceived conflict by way of us doing an investigation on ourselves. So it is being undertaken by the Financial Management Board Secretariat.

Again, I know I did commit to the Member that I would try and get back to him by April. Again, the work is ongoing because it is a comprehensive review. Also, we are trying to compare the information with other industrial trends across the country to make sure that we are implementing similar arrangements to ensure that we are fair. We are also trying work along with the people within the different industries.

Again, it is ongoing. We are working with the Department of FMBS on this matter.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Supplementary, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister indicate to the House when he anticipates this ongoing work will be completed so that we can see the results hopefully before the end of the life of this Assembly? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, the office of the chief information officer is undertaking this. They are doing a performance evaluation and ensuring that the plan and assessment of the program is completed. They are telling me that they should have something back by the end of July. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Supplementary, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he would commit to sharing that work or report with the Members so that we can see what the impact is and what the results of that long labour has been by these various officials. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, the normal protocol allows me to ensure that Cabinet sees it first before we release it, but I do not believe that will be a problem. So once Cabinet has seen it and approved the release, we will get it to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes, Mr. McLeod.
