Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. The Affirmative Action Policy, we had to force our government to hire our people and Aboriginals. That is why it was implemented in the first place. Incredible as it sounds, we had to force our government to hire our own people. That is the spirit and intent of the Affirmative Action Program. I know that in the last Assembly there was some inkling of looking at it, reviewing it, making some changes. If that is the priority of this Assembly, then certainly the Executive would certainly consider it seriously and working with all Members once again. We could have a real good look at it. Once again, it was about hiring our people, the Aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories. There are other ways that we can achieve an increase of those numbers. One of them I spoke about is that we focus in on education and increase our graduation rates, and what that does is increase the employability of our people. I would like to see us move towards that. Thank you.
