I wanted to follow up on that and I just wanted to get some clarity here so that I’m sure how this works and the public is sure how it works. Who ultimately makes the call on hiring a former deputy minister through a sole-source contract? Is it the other deputy minister, their former colleague, or is it the Minister of the department that makes that call, Mr. Speaker? I just wanted to be clear on that question. Thank you.

Thanks, committee. We’re on the Department of Finance, general comments. Are there any other general comments? Does committee agree to go to detail?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 62-16(4), NWT Main Estimates, 2010-2011, and would like to report progress. I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Beaulieu, your time has expired as well. I can put you back on the list if you like, but now the chair is going to recognize Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Ms. Gault.

Thank you, Mr, Krutko. I’d ask Members to keep your sidebar conversations to a minimum in an effort that we can hear the Minister’s responses. Mr. Krutko.
