Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Polakoff. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to speak to the opening remarks from the Minister Responsible for the NWT Housing Corp. I am happy to see that the department is going to be investing $35 million to construct 174 new units in communities across the NWT.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Miltenberger.

I’m hoping what that means is yes, performance pay will be based on merit rather than the standard.

I’d like to encourage the Premier to review what the federal government is doing with respect to bonuses to their senior managers. They put in a real comprehensive plan that ensures that not everybody gets one because they are a senior manager but for outstanding performance and doing more than is required or above and beyond. So I’d like to encourage the Premier to check out what the feds are doing.

Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is to the Premier. Currently virtually every senior manager and deputy head of the GNWT gets a bonus. I’m curious if bonuses have been awarded to deputy heads and senior managers for services provided during the 2007-2008 fiscal year.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister Miltenberger.
