Mr. Speaker, as far as the training of the firefighters goes, for that aspect of it the GNWT will provide five days of leave. If a firefighter at work is called to a fire and needs to take leave for that day when they’re fighting a house fire, I think that is something that we don’t have specifically covered in our HR Manual, but it’s something I think that the GNWT, as the manager of that employee, allows an individual to go and fight a house fire if they’re part of the volunteer group.
However, some of the other things that may be important to this questioning is that right now the
GNWT is doing a comprehensive review of all of the planned leave, to try to determine the best way to move forward with this leave and also recognizing the fact that the GNWT has probably the best leave from most public services across the country. Thank you.
