Mr. Chairman, thanks to the Minister. That’s all I have. Thanks.

Mr. Chairman, thank you to the Premier. That is good to know. I think it was at the same workshop. There was some discussion about the development of a self-government policy for the GNWT. Is that part of the same work that has been done on the key features document or is that a separate policy that is being developed? Thank you.

I don’t have the paper right here where I got the info. I’ll look it up and let the Minister know. If people are still asking questions, I can come back to it.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I had a question with regard to the contributions under devolution negotiations. I note that in ‘11-12 the estimate is the same amount of money for the last year, the current budget year, for $40,000. In light of where things are at with regard to an AIP and devolution negotiations going forward, is that amount of money going to be enough? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of comments here I have to follow up since Mr. Bromley is not here, and express, as he would, his dismay that this budget has increased by 5.3 percent instead of the 3 percent cap that we had presumably agreed on. That said, I am really pleased to hear about the single-window service centres and that they are working, that the GSO, government service officers seem to be a successful move and I look forward to hearing further updates as we get a little further into this project.

I am disappointed, however, there is nothing in the Premier’s remarks, I will...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are addressed to the Minister of Justice. I’ll give him a little bit of a break from the education venue. Workplace harassment and workplace bullying are something which I think we are becoming more and more aware of. I think it’s existed for a very long time and is all too common. I think we are becoming more aware that employers do not necessarily treat their employees fairly.

I’d like to ask the Minister of Justice what legislation or regulations currently exist in the NWT to deal with workplace harassment or workplace bullying.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to question here the surplus deficit. After looking at income and expenditures for this fund is a deficit of $232,000 and yet the description at the top indicates that it is supposed to be a breakeven operation. Could I get an explanation as to why this is a deficit and is it a certain point in time only? That is it. Thanks.

Thanks very much for that update. Good to hear. I wanted to also go back to the issue of bandwidth and the demands that are being placed on our system, particularly because of education and health. I’d like to ask the Minister or the DM what the plans are for the department to accommodate our ever-expanding needs for IT. Thank you.

Right on. That is good to hear. With regards to the projects scheduled for this year, Fort Good Hope and Inuvik schools, are they still in the plans to be demolished in 2011-2012? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. I guess I would like to know if there is going to be any sort of an evaluation of the pilot project prior to sort of expanding throughout the rest of the Government of the Northwest Territories systems. Thank you.
