Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, I’d like to comment for the record that this position in Tuktoyaktuk at James Gruben airport, this proposed affected employee is scheduled for 2009–2010. I’ll give my comments to Mr. Jacobson in terms of if this would come up again going forward.
Mr. Chair, our department was given a task, and we’ve run to the task vis-a-vis looking at reductions of our operations with the least impact to services in the Northwest Territories. I do not take this task very lightly; I’ve had some long discussions with my deputy and discussions with the staff. It’s very painful. I come from a small community. I know what it’s like in small communities. I also know the opportunities these people could look forward to when they’re given a task — like creating opportunities for themselves. We are going to come back to this item. For the record, I’d like to state that very clearly from the department’s view.
