Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. During the last session I questioned the Minister and his honourable colleague for Sahtu about the board's record of hiring aboriginal employees under this government's affirmative action policy. I understand there has been a five per cent growth in the number of aboriginal Northerners working at the board since December of 1988. Right now over 80 per cent of the board's staff is non-aboriginal, and there are no managers of aboriginal descent. I am also interested in other aspects of the boards' affirmative action record as well. Can the Minister advise the House what percentage of the staff at the Workers' Compensation Board qualify under the Government of the NWT affirmative action policy?
