I remember this because I was involved in it the last time. The last time we were pursuing it, in 2005, we had to write all new job descriptions to make them consistent with the GNWT format. We had to get them all evaluated and consistent with our form of evaluation, the Hay method of evaluation. Then we were getting ready to move forward with the next step, which would be to terminate their employment with the Hay River authority and offer them employment with the new GNWT Hay River authority. Then we’d have to make sure that all of them would have the opportunity to go through the process where they were protected where they had first right of refusal on jobs. We protected them. So there was a significant amount of work making that happen. On top of that, there is the cost of bringing over the pension and making sure their futures are protected. It’s a significant amount of work.
