Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have one comment and then a question. I would like to add my voice to those of my colleagues in terms of moving forward on bringing the employees of the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority into the GNWT workforce. I support particularly Mr. Bromley’s suggestion that there are little things or small things or bits and pieces that we can do working towards a final solution. I would encourage the Minister to certainly look at that and advance us as far as possible before we have to spend the $11 million twice over that he is referencing.
I do have a question in regards to the costs of the Collective Agreement increases for the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority. I note in the background material that we were given that the Collective Agreement was ratified on May 21, 2009, and yet we are now seeing the request for the funds for this increase in the Collective Agreement costs. I ask this question often; I am going to ask it again: why was this increase not able to be included in the main estimates which we only passed in February of 2010? There is quite a bit of time. That is a year ago pretty much from now that the Collective Agreement was passed and we are only seeing the expense now. I would like to know why. Thank you.
