It does sound like there is potentially an impetus for us to look at wages for our… I know it’s about classifications and I don’t want to get into the legalese in terms of the criteria for pay. My question was purely are we in the ballpark to attract these people.

My next question will have to deal more with the aspect of poverty law and poverty law services. Poverty law services is helping the needs of the elderly to do wills and those types of things. Is that eating up a lot of our legal aid time? Should we be looking at a different vehicle to deal with poverty law?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I’ll treat it as a comment. Moving on, we have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Does the Minister have any witnesses he wishes to bring into the House?

Welcome back, committee. Does Minister McLeod have witnesses he’d like to bring into the Chamber?

We’re on page 5-49, NWT Housing Corporation, information item, finance and infrastructure services.

I guess the question I have, as well is accessibility for these lawyers. Is it the fact that we as a government, are we paying adequately to attract lawyers to come here to work or are we at a disadvantage? Are other jurisdictions doing more to attract this professional person to come this far north?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister McLeod.

Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Mr. McLeod.
