Thank you, Mr.
Speaker. My
questions today are for the Premier. It gets back to my Member’s statement and discussions we’ve had in this House regarding the deliberations over the ’08–09 budget and notification letters that were sent out to employees.
I know, going through the process, that there have been decisions made by the government to notify employees not only for this year’s budget, but if you look at Transportation and ITI, there’s a clear indication that notification letters have been sent out to employees who are going to be affected in the ’09–10 budget.
I’d like the Premier to explain to me and explain to the House how the government can operate like this without us having passed the legislation that would give them the authority to do these things.
