Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Education, Mr. Allooloo. There were, Mr. Speaker, two positions vacant this summer at the school in Fort Providence and one teacher position, but when the advertisement for those positions went out it was based on the affirmative action policy being adhered to, and it said very little about the qualifications of an individual. I would like to know if it is the intention of the department to hire people regardless of what their qualifications are, as long as they adhere to the affirmative action policy. I would like to know if that is the direction in which the Department of Education is now going.
