Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, just to be clear, medical professions in the Northwest Territories are at a different collective agreement, a different bargaining block, and they have different pension plans and a different salary system. We don't really have that problem with physicians at a territorial level. They can go to Hay River; they have rights in Hay River and Stanton. Where it is a problem is with the staff, the unionized staff within the Hay River Authority, but unionized staff and staff outside the Hay River Authority. I have had the opportunity to talk to individuals who would really like an opportunity to work in the Hay River Authority, because it is a great new building. It is a great community. There are lots of opportunities there, but are unwilling to consider employment in Hay River because they don't want to lose their GNWT pension, which is a Cadillac compared to the K-car that is the Hay River pension that we have to put new tires and do a tune-up on every year just to keep it on the road. So there are individuals who are worried about going to Hay River, and, at the same time, there are employees within the Hay River Authority who would probably like the opportunity to do developmental assignments outside the Hay River Authority, but leaving that employ will impact their pension and their future retirement, so there are concerns.

These are issues that are not new. I have made commitments in this House before that I am committed to bringing Hay River into the public service. I have directed the staff to redo the business case in light of where we are today to see if we can find a way to bring that forward. It is going to have to compete against a lot of different initiatives, but I believe it is the right thing to do. We will continue to work to find a way to make that happen.
