I guess I’m struggling with that issue, especially on a day like today when I made a Member’s statement on decentralization and the plan that we have going forward. I guess there are quite a few jobs going out into the regions through devolution, and to add seven more to Yellowknife, I understand some of them were through devolution but a couple were actually through an option that we had. I guess this is a priority of the Assembly to do decentralization and I’d like us to consider that, I guess.
The other area of concern that I have, and it’s more of a question, I think, we talked about the details of the vacancies that we’ve been asking more and more information on. We’ve been getting more of that and we’re going to get more options to that.
The Minister indicated he didn’t want to comment on that, but I think we need to get some of that information sooner than later, because this is a budget issue. I understand that the department is gathering that information with all the different departments. But for the Department of HR not wanting to discuss that at this budget time, which we know this is a priority, I think we need to look at all those options. We need to look at where those positions are filled, especially the ones that are funded. We have some vacant positions that are funded and inactive. There are quite a few that we need to look at in this budget process before I think we can move forward. Thank you.
