I don’t have that number memorized, but I will commit to getting that to the Member later today or early tomorrow.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It’s currently being implemented at Stanton and we are experiencing some growing pains with the program, trying to make it effective and work properly at Stanton. It’s going to take a little bit more time before we can come back with an analysis on the benefits and the effects of this particular tool.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don’t have statistics on the number of senior managers we expect are approaching retirement. I’m not actually sure if we have a concrete figure on that, but I will have the department go back and look and provide committee with anything that we might have. We do know, anecdotally, that we have a number of senior managers approaching retirement, which is one of the reasons the Associate Director/Regional Superintendent Program is a positive program that’s helping us develop people who are on the right path but maybe need a little bit more opportunity or experience...

When I talked to the Premier we confirmed that it is, yes.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just going back to the WSCC claims, as I have indicated, we are putting stuff in now; we are trying to address the problem. Some of the stuff is going to take a bit of time to work through. As with any new program, there is bound to be some growing pains, but we have already seen a decrease in 2012. We know there is probably going to be a penalty coming from that. We just expect it to be much smaller, which shows that we have started to make progress. More progress is needed. More diligence is needed. We continue to work closely with the departments so they implement...

I hear you on the scoring frustration. I believe we’ve already had conversations on this and I understand the frustration that some of your constituents are having, and not just your constituents, but others across the Northwest Territories, and the barriers that our system may be actually putting in place unknowingly, which I’m going to go back to my comments on the Aboriginal Employees Advisory Committee. We’re really looking forward to some suggestions they have on the process. I mean what barriers we may be unknowingly be putting in and how we can improve those. So we look forward to their...

Thank you, Madam Chair. We’ve seen huge progress in this area already, and I think creating awareness in the individual departments has helped an awful lot. I have had discussions with the Premier on this and we have discussed this with Cabinet; Cabinet is aware. The deputy minister has been discussing this at the deputy heads’ meetings on a regular basis. I think the deputies are taking responsibility and accountability for this issue, and I think we have already started to see some positive results.

As I indicated earlier when I was talking to Mr. Bromley, the Premier has indicated that this...

Madam Chair, we have occupational health and safety coordinators in a number of departments, boards and agencies. I can get that number for the Member.

As far as tools and resources that the Department of Human Resources has in place or is preparing to assist in the workplace, we have the Occupational Health and Safety Policy, which is a GNWT policy that departments, boards and agencies are going to have to utilize. We have some incident reporting procedures, which is basically GNWT incident reporting procedures. We have occupational health and safety orientation for workers. We have...

He said yes.

As a Regular Member, and as a citizen, and as an employee who used to be in the public service, I have been a supporter of whistleblower legislation for a long time. I have been trying to push it forward. This House has supported that initiative. We agreed to move forward with the Union of Northern Workers, who was a good partner. We worked hand in hand on the Safe Disclosure Policy that we have in place and it is going to form the background of the legislation. We want to implement the safe disclosure April 1st. I have to bring it to committee first for their review, but that’s...

I have provided that information to committee once before and I actually listed off the list of tools that we have developed and/or are working on, but I’m happy to provide it in writing to the Member and committee if they so choose or desire.
