Thank you, I have some comments pertaining to Economic Development and Tourism, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance made a number of points in his comments today. I wanted to advise the Minister with regard to human resources, the standing committee made a number of recommendations under government-wide issues and recommendations. They talked about attitude and so forth, and talked about measuring performances and increasing aboriginal people within government as a whole. Just to remind the Minister, this same committee last year, Mr. Chairman, recommended that this department should try to significantly increase their numbers, particularly at the senior and middle management levels. The committee also asked about the department's plans of achieving this particular goal. Are they developing career pathing for their employees, et cetera? What I wanted to ask was although this year the Standing Committee on Finance suggested training and affirmative action, last year this department was targeted, and how is the department going to improve in this whole area of human resources? What is the definitive plan of the department? Last year they were targeted, and this year although the Standing Committee on Finance did not target them, they made a general remarks for across the government that they should improve their affirmative action. I wanted to ask the Minister what the department's specific goals are for this coming year?
