Written Question 2-19(2): Aurora College President

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier. About 18 months ago, the Government of the Northwest Territories hired an executive search firm to assist in finding qualified applicants for the dual role of president of Aurora College and associate deputy minister of Post-Secondary Education Renewal. Can the Premier tell us how much the executive search firm was paid, and:

the salary range advertised for the president/associate deputy minister role;

the average cost of relocating a successful candidate to Yellowknife;

the severance provisions included in a standard deputy minister employment contract; and

the standard severance cost of ending a deputy minister employment contract at the one-year mark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER
