Yes, Mr. Speaker, I did not understand the question at the time. Mr. Speaker, sometimes there are serious complications, serious issues out there that we have to grapple with. The issue of abstinence is one that was told to us as being a very serious problem in terms of the people who are conducting the counselling, doing the immediate work with people. If we talk about affirmative action, it is the same thing. We are told that people are not hired who can do the job, who are resident in the NWT, aboriginal people. Sometimes we have to take a high road and say something has to be done about this issue. These are cases where it is determined that there is a serious problem and issues have to be addressed. I do not think that is dictatorship. That is trying to meet the needs of people, trying to address a problem.
I think the Minister of Social Services, in this case, is prepared to go and meet with the Baffin communities to give them a little more time. To meet with them and get them co-operatively coming across and taking that initiative on their own.
The majority of people in this case did recognize that in that particular job -- it is not a dictatorship. I know when we were in Baffin the issue was brought up. I was asked a question, and someone said, "It is my right." It is not a right. There are a lot of privileges out there, and it has been clearly identified over the years, and there is a great abuse of this privilege that people have. It is not a right. Sometimes we have to take action on behalf of the residents of the NWT, even though it is somewhat arbitrary.
