I’m glad the Member’s actually brought this up. Our human resources are significantly the largest driver of costs in the health care system. Our employees are highly trained and compensated accordingly, and there are significant costs there. Overtime is a massive deal. I’ve asked the department, and they’ve already begun the work on doing a complete analysis of overtime usage throughout the Northwest Territories in different authorities. They’ve actually started that work now to help us figure out what, if any, areas are driving overtime to greater degrees than other areas. Trying to dig in to figure out why some areas have higher overtime usage than others. What is driving that is that one region maybe has some health issues that another region doesn’t. So we’re doing that analysis now and I’d be happy to share that information with committee.

Overtime is actually the rate at which it’s paid and all those things are all part of the UNW Collective Agreement. So, I mean, we don’t have a policy on overtime, it’s determined by the terms and conditions of employment. In our communities and in our organizations, if people are sick, we call people in. If there’s a call in the community, we bring people in because we need to be able to provide that care. It’s where it might be being abused that we need to find and address and we’re doing that work now.
