Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m kind of waiting for the right spots in the budget to come up, in order to ask some questions, but I think the questions have been fairly general, so I’ll go through my list here.

First, I’d like to talk a bit about the self-service system that’s in place with the GNWT. I feel like the self-service is an exercise of frustrating employees. I

wanted to know if the department has done

anything to evaluate the feasibility of going back to the simple system that was in place previous to the self-service system, or if they’ve looked at other options that are more economical and easier to operate — “other options” meaning other systems that maybe can just be purchased and it works; it doesn’t have to be purchased and then all of the support services that surround the self-service system would have to be purchased and committed to, and all of those things.

I’d like to know if the department recognizes the fact that the self-service system is frustrating employees all over the GNWT; and secondly, if they’ve looked at other systems or considered going back to the old system.
