Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is not a hypothetical thing but a particular case. Will the Minister confirm, when three or four people who are all within this affirmative action program apply for a job, maybe a native man or woman, a disabled person, or someone who has spent most of their life in the Territories and so on, although they all meet the basic requirements for that job and meet the standard, when an interview takes place the best candidate for that job will, in fact, get the job and there will be no one of those individuals who would be considered more affirmative than another one of those individuals?
