Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Ramsay.

I’ll ask the Minister if he has any opening comments. Minister Ramsay.

I wonder what the other barriers are, I guess. Is it all financial? What are the complications of not having them in the GNWT system?

It’s not getting any cheaper. It is something we were interested in seeing, I guess. Is the department going to continue to analyze it? When do you think you will have that analysis complete? When would we be able to look at what the net costs are of doing that?

I wonder what the impediments are having an authority like this outside of the GNWT. What difficulties are we experiencing? There is a cost to that pension, but there is also maybe a cost or a difficulty in operating one authority that is stand-alone and the remainder of them under the GNWT umbrella.

I am just wondering if we’ve used any professionals such as an actuary to look at those actual costs.
