Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Human Resources. I’ve been a Member of the House for over four years, and early on in the life of the 15th Legislative Assembly one of
the first things I took on was the staff concerns at North Slave Correctional Centre. I stood up here in the House day in and day out and told the Minister what was going on at North Slave Correctional Centre. He was adamant that nothing was going on at North Slave Correctional Centre, and we all know what happened after HR went in there and did a thorough analysis of what was happening: there were 68 recommendations that came down for areas of improvement.
I’m hearing those same types of concerns — and I’m not the only Member hearing the concerns — from staff at HR. Other Members are hearing them as well.
I’d like to begin by asking the Minister of Human Resources if he could look at having a way to go in there and talk to the employees in the department to find out what’s really going on there, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
