Thank you, Member. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, absolutely.

Thank you. Member.

Nothing further. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am looking at the line item for occupational health and safety on page 248. I note that it's $306,000 for the upcoming year, which is an increase of $150,000 or so. It is my understanding that that is a staffing position increase. Now, for me, it's really concerning that for a department with an overall budget of, what are we looking at here, $278 million, that there is only $306,000 being spent on health and safety. This is the department of the doers and the workers and the people who are out in the field and active, and I feel that the health and safety funding is woefully short. Perhaps the Minister can speak to whether or not the department is looking to increase funding for occupational health and safety roles within the department. Thank you.

Thank you, Member. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The occupational health and safety is crucial to some of the line of work that we do within Marine Transportation Services or let alone the Department of Infrastructure. In terms of the increase, I know it does not look like a lot, but we did increase by one extra position in the Northwest Territories. Perhaps one is not enough. I think that is where the Member is going, and that is something we can look at. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. Just a further comment to that, I do think it would be worthwhile, as we look at integrating things and breaking down silos within the GNWT, that the entire health and safety program of the Government of the Northwest Territories be looked at and perhaps one unified one created, which would be great, along with a public safety department, but I will follow up with the Minister at a later date on that. Sorry. I just lost my spot here. I really do need glasses, particularly at the end of this day. I am going to leave it there, and if I could come back to my spot, I will just send an email. Thank you. I am good.

Thank you, Member. Any further questions from Members under programs and services? Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Do we have a timeline when we expect all departments to be on our digital integrated management system, our digital records system, a.k.a. DIIMS? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am going to find -- actually, I am using up his time, so I am going to turn it over to ADM Vandenberg. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Vandenberg.

Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We spend two-and-a-half million dollars a year on corporate information management. Getting all of our departments on the same records is essential for the ATIPP implementation; it's essential for any sort of digital government work we have to do. I hear what the department is saying, is that there is a readiness aspect in that the first step is departments getting their records in order so that they can actually be brought into the GNWT's digital information system. What is the department doing to make sure that ECE, Health and Social Services, EIA, and I guess I will talk to the Legislative Assembly about making sure they are ready and getting DIIMS online? Sorry. I just want to re-ask my first question. Do we have a timeline? I know we are trying. I know we are spending millions of dollars doing this every year, but it has been many years in the making, so when can we actually expect the GNWT to be on one information management system? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Tthe Member did talk about when. There are some steps that we need to do that meet some of our key requirements in order to get everybody online. That is going to take time. I am going to look to ADM Vandenberg to see if he knows a little more information about some timelines in getting everybody on the same page. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Vandenberg.

Thank you, Mr. Vandenberg. Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. I recognize that the fault probably does not lie with the corporate information management section and that departments, some of our records are in a mess, and it was a lot of work to bring all of the records into one place for the departments who got there. Can I just get a commitment from the Minister to try to do their best to put together a timeline? I believe there was a timeline at one point when DIIMS was first rolled out and that we failed to meet it a couple of times in a row now, so perhaps there is some hesitancy to actually put a date on this. If possible, can the Minister come back with a date or at least an assessment of what is the barrier to getting this work done? Thank you, Madam Chair.
