Question 203-18(2): Impacts of Proposed GNWT Position Reductions
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. On June 1st, budget day, I asked the Minister of Finance if we could get a table that would lay out the job changes that were being proposed in the budget, things like whether the positions were vacant or not; whether these changes were a result of reductions, sunsets, or new initiatives full-time, part-time, and I’m still waiting for that information. I raised it again with the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment a couple of days ago and he committed to work with his Cabinet colleagues on this. Mr. Speaker, we’ve now finished four of the departments and this is an important piece of information that this side of the House would like to get to help us with our review of the budget. I’m just wondering if I could ask the Minister when I might expect to get this information and if he can’t give an immediate answer can he take it as notice. Thanks, Mr. Speaker.
Masi. Minister of Finance.
I could give the Member an answer but I will take it as notice and I will commit to getting the information put together. Thank you.
