Thank you, Mr. Chair. My last set of questions, I promise, for everyone who is groaning. I wanted to reference the reference by the Minister to backlog pay and benefits issues. I understand that they’re making some good progress and that’s a good thing, but I also wanted to visit two issues that have come to my office, both of which are the same and it’s a recall, an invoice for holidays used over and above the allocation for people who have left the employ of the Territories.
I understand that the department is trying to make sure that people have not been overpaid for holidays that they took and hadn’t earned, but I am concerned that these notices are coming 18 or more months after the person has left the employ of the GNWT. So I guess I’m trying to understand from a department perspective how an individual would be given their final pay, given their record of employment, basically signed off and yet a year or more later would be given an invoice for holidays taken that weren’t earned. So if I could get an explanation from the Minister as to why a final pay notice or a final pay is given and why a record of employment notice is given to somebody who has left our employ when the audit on what’s owing and what’s due has not been done. Thank you.
