Is this not part of the performance management process of the deputy ministers, because that’s what I’m hearing now being repeated we’re going to make it part of? To date has it not been part of it?

Thank you, Madam Chair. With pleasure, I would like to weigh into this discussion a little bit. The opportunity before us here really comes down to something simple, which is one of the challenges about coordination. Through our corporate focus here, who is going to take charge of some of these WSCC fines and coordination and, certainly, safety? Wouldn’t this now be the time for the department to say we’ll approach the Premier and Cabinet to find a coordinating role and this could be the opportunity? Clearly, we’re hearing several Members, I was glad to hear Mr. Bromley speak up to that issue...

Madam Chair, the Minister shouldn’t think I am not hearing him. I do. But what continues to be the pillar of the issue for me is the fact that there is no coordinating role. How do you know we are all on the same song sheet just because they provide advice and guidance, but he keeps farming out responsibility to individual departments? When we consider complying on all these types of things, again it is the consistency of applying. Why is it so complicated to say that all information that would be going towards WSCC needs to have a check box that goes through Human Resources that can...

Is this something you don’t want to do or can’t do?

Maybe the Minister of Human Resources could help educate the Legislature on the inconsistencies of filing paperwork and how that is so incredibly difficult that we need a new risk matrix to explain the elements of why it’s so inconsistent in some areas and why we couldn’t have a consistent pattern across the board and, by the same token, someone to ensure there is a level of compliance.

And the answer to my question?

So maybe if it’s part of the performance process and the Department of Human Resources doesn’t seem interested in creating a coordinated role, who does coordinate to ensure that the deputies do comply?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m going to use this opportunity to follow up on my Member’s statement, which was in whole about the Inuvik-Tuk highway and some of the costs and components thereof. I guess my first question is: When will a plain-language document be available for the public to see that actually specifies and drills down what the project is and what the actual costing estimates are? That way we will have something to debate and discuss publicly before an actual vote happens in the House.

That’s fine for now. I wanted to know what they did. Thank you.

Are all four employees accepting a transfer? Thank you.
