Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for Human Resources, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In fact, if they're being paid now, they're already on the system. So the system is actually delivering their cheques to them as we speak. What we're talking about here is upgrading the software and we can't go back to the old software because the old software is not being supported anymore. So we can't get the new tax tables or if the system doesn't work, it's not being supported. So the requirement is to move to a new system. So either its upgrade PeopleSoft or find entirely new software in order to get people paid. The issue that has been has been the Absence Management module that's given us the most problems. The rest of the system appears to be working as it should. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't think I'm suggesting that government comes up and adapt a whole new software program to address this. I'm talking about the network of people who are required to actually sit in front of the computer and enter these numbers or whatever they have to do to put the process in place and data in place to get the software to do whatever it has to do. A lot of people who are not having to do that right now don't want to experience the kind of stories they are hearing from other people who are having to spend a lot of time dealing with it. So until these are ironed out, I understand you still have to use the same program, but can we limit the number of people or the duties of people having to deal with the software program until it's ironed out? I hope I'm clear on that question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There will be no changes. The doctors should see no changes from what they were seeing before July 3rd and how the system operates. In fact, all employees should see the same system as what we had in place pretty well before July 3rd. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have to ask the Minister for clarification then. Is it the Minister's information that everybody that works at the Stanton Hospital actually has to enter all of their data in this computer? That is all I am asking. Can we just limit it to people who are most familiar with that program so that there is less chance of a lot of people spending a lot of time trying to iron out the wrinkles? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, not every employee has to enter their time. Positive time reporters and shift workers are the ones who would most often take advantage of the opportunity to do that. If they are not doing it, then it has to be done manually by somebody. If there is an issue around it, that process could be handled at the hospital. But what we find is that most people want to enter their own time to make sure that it is being done accurately. Obviously, when you have somebody else do it, there is a chance that there is a mistake. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Great Slave, Mr. Braden.
