Mr. Speaker, I’m going to assume that if I worked for the territorial government and I got a letter saying that my position was potentially affected, I might begin to look around at other options and other scenarios, because I may have a family to feed or I may have a mortgage payment to make.
Now, I’d like to ask the Premier: did the people who have already taken reassignment or early retirement or who have looked at other options do so on a completely voluntary basis? I think there is a legal aspect to this. I’d like to ask the Premier. Did the Cabinet and did the Premier seek a legal opinion under human relations/human resource law and labour standards as to whether or not it was an okay practice to tell people: Heads up. You might be losing your job, but here are some opportunities to take advantage of in advance? Did anybody seek a legal opinion on this action?
