Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are in follow-up to my colleague from Hay River North when he was asking about if there were ways of consulting with the public with respect to ways of affecting our budget here as a government.
Mr. Speaker, the Minister made reference to his roundtables he has held on revenue options and different things. I would like to suggest that one other idea for input that is not so much public input but it comes from a very reliable source, is asking our own employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories where there are ways to do things more cost-effectively and more efficiently.
You can sort of take the negative spin on that and a lot of talk has gone on in the past about the idea of whistle-blower legislation. That is kind of allowing protection for people who might want to report things going on in the workplace that are costing this government money, but I would rather take a positive and proactive approach to that and find out if there are ways of rewarding GNWT employees who know the system so well, much better than we can ever know it, and could come forward to us with ways of doing things better and rewarding them for that. Thank you.
