I don’t see why we cannot contemplate that, and if that’s what the Member would like to see, then it’s something that we, as the government and the Legislature, especially in transition could consider. I would caution, though, that I don’t believe there is any evidence that says that if you had one authority, that would be the silver bullet fixer to managing finances. Alberta is a recent example of that. They blew up the boards, they tried to find efficiencies, and I don’t think there is any evidence to show that they are in any way saving their money.

We have a governance review that we are engaged in and that we are going to be sharing with the Members, and how we align, I think, the board governance for the entire Territory should be part of that discussion. What we are trying to do, in substance though, is that we are trying to get all of the authorities to work together. I mean, it may eventually lead to having one authority or a more harmonized authority, but we are by function encouraging and by policy or by direction, by just having regular dialogue with the authorities and at the senior management level we are working to coordinate our finances better. The backroom office is better. Going forward I think we will continue to have capacity issues in our authorities and we may,

a future Legislature may have to look at amalgamating or having one board, but that’s a political discussion and it’s not a quick fix to deficit reduction. I don’t think we should look at it that way. I don’t think there’s any evidence to show that. Thank you.
