Question 150-13(3): Responsibility For Education Tax Increase May 2nd, 1996

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On May 1st, I asked the Minister of Finance a question on education taxes. He gave me a response that he believed that he was responsible for the increase in the upcoming education tax. Can he inform me is he indeed the one who initiated this, or was it initiated at a previous time? Thank you.

Question 143-13(3): Enforcement Of GNWT Staffing Policies May 2nd, 1996

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister assure this House that the affirmative action policy will continue to be enforced and that nepotism and other inappropriate practices will be prohibited with the new staffing arrangements in the GNWT?

Question 143-13(3): Enforcement Of GNWT Staffing Policies May 2nd, 1996

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What measures will be taken against department managers who violate the affirmative action policy, engage in nepotism or violate any other GNWT staffing policies?

Question 143-13(3): Enforcement Of GNWT Staffing Policies May 2nd, 1996

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister responsible for Personnel. Further to

what we just heard, who now has the responsibility of enforcing staffing policies, including affirmative action?

Current Budget Developed On Fairness And Equity May 2nd, 1996

Mr. Speaker, we've spoken of fairness, of doing things compassionately, working together, and I hope in this program we've worked on called "the budget," over

the last number of months, throughout this program we will be able to show the people of the Territories that it's done in a fair and equitable manner. Meaning not only to employees who are receiving reductions or being laid off, but also to communities throughout the NWT that this is fairly distributed amongst all communities, and that no certain communities will not be receiving worse than others.

I look forward to this government putting forward the plans in this fair and equitable manner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
