Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, all GNWT public servants are going to be subject to the mandatory vaccination policy that we have in place. They are being asked, everyone is being asked to provide their proof of vaccination by November 30th. If an individual does not provide proof of vaccination by that point, then they will be subject to the option of PPE and testing. Or if they still wish to not avail themselves of that accommodation, they can take leave without pay.

Now, there are some divisions or rather entities that I know people are sometimes not clear about, Mr. Speaker, so for example, MTS, the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority and NTPC are not members covered by this policy. They are not under the GNWT's public service. Similarly YK1, YCS staff are not. But other than that, I would think there's the other sort of typical or usual expectations of who is a public servant would apply. But certainly if anyone is not clear if the policy does in fact apply to them, they should be speaking to a supervisor to confirm if they are indeed a GNWT public servant because they do have seven days now in which now to provide their proof of vaccination. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
