Question 645-20(1): Senior Envoy to the Government of Canada

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to follow up on a couple questions my good colleague, the Member for the Sahtu, had mentioned earlier and brought up with the Premier regarding the transparency process of the -- his excellency, our envoy to Ottawa, Mr. Speaker. And for the record, his pay scale's not even on the public registry of the GNWT's -- but all in, his costs are -- the GNWT is paying $400,000 roughly in round numbers and so, Mr. Speaker, I'm trying to figure out a little more than -- MLAs have never received a letter explaining exactly what this position is doing so we don't even know how to measure success. So, Mr. Speaker, can the Premier enlighten the House. Specifically, what is the mandate, and how do we measure the success with this envoy, his excellency being appointed to Ottawa? Thank you.
