Mr. Speaker, I have Return to Written Question 34-17(5) asked by Ms. Bisaro to the Honourable Michael Miltenberger, Minister of Finance, on February 16, 2015, regarding decentralization analysis.
I would like to provide the following information to the Members’ questions.
Now that we are moving into phase III of decentralization, describe any and all analyses of the government’s decentralization actions to date.
The decentralization initiative is now integrated into the business planning process. This means any new position being proposed by departments will be assessed to determine if the position should be decentralized. Departments will need to provide substantiation to the Financial Management Board if decentralization of the position is not feasible.
Of the 150 GNWT positions decentralized (per Premier McLeod in Hansard, February 10, 2015), advise the job title for each position, the original community for each position and the new community for each position.
A document providing the requested information will be tabled later today at the appropriate time.
Of the 150 GNWT positions decentralized, advise how many of the positions were vacant at the time the positions were transferred.
Of the 150 positions, 122 positions were vacant at the time of decentralization.
Of the 150 GNWT positions decentralized, advise how many of the positions were new PYs.
Of the 150 positions, 132 were new.
Of the 150 GNWT positions decentralized, advise how many incumbents chose to leave the employ of the GNWT.
Of the 150 positions, two incumbents left the GNWT.
Of the 150 GNWT positions decentralized, advise how many of the incumbents chose to leave the NWT and relocate elsewhere.
Of the 150 positions, one incumbent chose to leave the NWT.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
