Thank you, Mr. Chair. With part-time, what is that? Is that 20 hours a week? What are the hours of employment during this time? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It would be hours less than 37.5 per week.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So are they full-time part-time or are they part-time just like half days…? I'm confused with the 37.5 hours, less than, if it's 37 that's part-time. What's the duration of hours that these folks normally use? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

As per the Collective Agreement, 37.5 is considered a part-time full-time position.

I think I'm even more confused now. 37.5 is full-time part-time? Is it an eight-hour day or is it a 7.5-hour day? Because if it's an eight-hour day, is it 40 hours a week; if it's 37.5, that means it's a 7.5-hour day. So I guess just to clarify what the Minister meant by that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. 37.5 hours per week as per the Collective Agreement is a full-time position. Hours less than that would be part-time. These positions are permanent part-time positions, so they have a set number of hours per their letter of offer; it might be 20 hours, it may be 15 hours per week. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The Chair R.J. Simpson
Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Any further questions for page 81? Seeing none, we'll move on to conservation, assessment and monitoring, page 83 is the operations expenditure summary. We'll defer that until we look at the detail on page 84. Are there comments or questions on page 84? Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to ask the Minister: as we all know, we have some challenges with population of caribou herds and I want to ensure that we get developing management plans here for our wildlife. As we all know, caribou is the priority right now, and I just want to know what's the status of that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Regarding the population of the barren ground caribou herds in management plans, for the Bluenose-West, the Bluenose-East, the Cape Bathurst herds, the boards that are the primary managers for those herds have developed a management plan for those herds. The management plans are being finalized at this time.For the Porcupine herd, of course, there's been a management plan in place for a number of years and the board and the partner there are implementing that management plan. For further down in the southern part of the Territories regarding the Bathurst, at this point we do have a committee underway. We hope to have the committee established by this fall. That committee will be tasked with the development of a management plan for the Bathurst herd. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Usually on these boards, we always have one designate for GNWT or all the signatories of the herds there. I just want to ensure that our member is communicating well with ENR or the department because, for example, I've noticed that PCMB… I sat on the board when the management plan was developed. It showed that the population is 198,000 which is getting to the point of overpopulation. We have to ensure that our member is aware of this and that brings this up its board meetings. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
