All the Members in this House have talked about using public money wisely. Having to pay these fines is not wise use of money.
Workplace incidents are completely avoidable. As leaders we must promote behavioural changes within the GNWT that will increase workplace safety and incident prevention, and work with our injured staff to encourage early and safe return to work.
Let’s stop paying these unnecessary and avoidable fines and let’s use our money to provide quality
services and programs for our residents, programs that help our residents, Mr. Speaker. Thank you so much.
