Mr. Speaker, I am trying to dwell on a point. I would really appreciate if the Minister of Personnel could give me a specific answer. These so-called professionals that individuals go to, go to them in confidence because they are supposed to be professionals. I would like to know, the document they sign when they take on employment with the GNWT, in respect to an oath of office and secrecy, and it is not upheld, is the Minister indicating that it is okay to not adhere to their oath of office and secrecy that they signed?

Mr. Speaker, so the Minister feels there is no need for an oath of office and secrecy to be signed by civil servants?

Mr. Speaker, this is a question to the Minister of Personnel. Yesterday I indicated a concern in respect to employees violating the oath of office and secrecy. The Minister of Personnel basically indicated that it was the union that released this information. Does the Minister feel it is okay, approved and all right for civil servants to release confidential information to the union and not do anything about it?

Mr. Speaker, will the Minister of Personnel be able to advise this House as to what time frame he anticipates some of the surplus units, if they are deemed surplus, going on the market for sale? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Personnel. The Minister of Personnel now has a policy in place that reduces housing allowance benefits to employees that live in subsidized government units in excess of one year. Recognizing that there are many employees that probably are in these units over one year, and some communities do not have any surplus private units for employees to go into, will the Minister of Personnel consider the sale of government units across the NWT, particularly where they may have a surplus of these units. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, realizing that probably as a result of the various reports that the government does, will the Minister be able to advise us as soon as possible as to the anticipated amount of realized savings that he may have as a Minister of Finance by these restraint measures he is placing forth on the different departments?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of Finance, recognizing the number of restraint measures he has placed in the government in different departments, recognizing there will be a savings realized from these measures, how much of an anticipated realized savings does he expect to have accrued by the end of March?

Mr. Speaker, in as much as he attempted to answer my question, I would just hope that he would give me a specific answer, whether he would say yes or no. Will the Minister of Health consider looking at placing an expiry date on the terms of the chairmen of these boards where it is stated that they are at pleasure, as opposed to a specific date? Will he consider placing an expiry date to their pleasure terms, if I may state?

Mr. Chairman, I guess I am concerned with respect to some of these health boards having the chairmen appointed by the Minister of Health and their appointments being at pleasure. Realistically, a chairman could be there for 20 years if the process allowed. However, I would like to ask the Minister of Health if he would consider applying an expiry date on the terms of the chairmen of health boards who are appointed at pleasure. Thank you.
