Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be for the Minister of Health. On March 27, Mr. Speaker, I asked our first Minister of Health, the honourable Member Tony Whitford, why none of the senior management in his department are of aboriginal descent? He did not know the answer, and took my question as notice.
On April 2, the second Minister of Health, the honourable Nellie Cournoyea replied that, since the transfer, no aboriginal applicants have had the skills, and knowledge required for appointment to the senior management positions that have been open for hiring. Mr. Speaker, that is a shameful statement to make.
Now, today I would like to ask the third Minister of Health this question. What is he doing to increase the number of aboriginal people in management positions within the Department of Health?
