I have a number of written questions for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. They are as follows:
1) What is the foreign worker assistance program
designed to help small business owners fill skilled employment vacancies called?
2) What is the budget for this program?
3) When was this program instituted?
4) How often has this foreign worker program
been used, both successfully and unsuccessfully?
5) What is the average processing time with these
applications?
6) How many businesses have been assisted by
this program?
7) Provide a breakdown of the communities that
have businesses accessing this program.
8) What public information campaign was used to
advertise this program to employers?
9) Who is the point of contact to access this
service in Yellowknife?
10) Do we offer financial assistance in processing
applications?
11) Will you provide me a copy of this program’s
establishment policy, assuming there is one?
