Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, let me just be clear first at the outset that it is, indeed -- everyone that has to be, at this point, providing a proof of vaccination or else they will be asked to comply with enhanced personal protective equipment and ultimately a testing regime.
In doing so, in asking our employees to comply with that policy, privacy absolutely was a top consideration, Mr. Speaker. The information that we are requesting, the records we are requesting, they are, indeed, going to be held on a need-to-know only basis at the Department of Human -- Department of Finance and Human Resources within the human resources information system. These folks are very accustomed to dealing with very sensitive information. It is secure, and it is private. I certainly would not let that to be a barrier to anyone complying with the policy to keep themselves and their families and their coworkers safe.
As for its application, Mr. Speaker, as I believe has been discussed this week, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation does have their own policy also in place. The Northwest Territories Housing Corporation does, however, fall within this one.
So, yes, Mr. Speaker, this is -- it's time -- this is time, it's now upon us, but, again, the information is going to be kept secure and confidential. So this -- if there's anyone out there who still hasn't provided their proof of vaccination, please, please get on the system and get that done today. Thank you.
