Thank you, Madam Chair. The Department of Human Resources is going to come into a lot of challenges. Most that I’m looking at is when the Devolution Agreement is signed and we start of our implementation of the devolution chapters and the focus on the decentralization of the government.

I want to ask the Minister of Human Resources with regard to the potential number of people coming in from the federal government to the GNWT, and the number of employees that we would have now because of the Devolution Agreement, and the big picture plan when they come to the North and how are we going to look at the numbers coming possibly into the North to the headquarters and then to the region and then to the communities. Is there a plan with his other colleagues to prepare for those potential employees, and what type of plans for human resources? We need to let the people know that these are some of the challenges we’re going to have. That’s the first one for me.

Is the Minister working on an overall, grandiose decentralization plan coupled with the devolution issues? How are we going to prepare the Sahtu or any other regions for the potential of moving positions into our regions and our communities? Thank you, Madam Chair.
