I just got a promotion.

Thank you. I would say that the complaints and inquiries that we deal with come from everywhere. I'm sorry I can't provide stats on exactly whether the complainant or the inquirer was an aboriginal person or not. We didn't take count of that. In the first year, I particularly made a point of trying to travel to some of the communities so that I could get in touch with people. People would approach me everywhere, as I did, even when I was in airports, or staying overnight in hotels or having lunch with people. I was constantly asking people what was going on in the communities and what were their major concerns.
So, I had a lot of contact with people at the grass roots level and some of the complaints came out of a visit to a community, just because it was the first year of the office and I wanted people to know that there was such an office. I actively sought out people to find out whether there were any complaints and to tell people that there was now a process for dealing with that. Sometimes, it involved sitting down with somebody that spoke another language, having lunch with them, and talking about things in their community. I did that quite a few times when I was travelling.
The phone also rings a lot. As I said, we are almost reaching 450 complaints and inquiries. We just calculated the other day that we had about 500 working days since the office opened. So, that's almost one a day, at least. Some days we get three or four or five and other days we don't get any, but then we're doing on the other ones. They come from all over. People stop me on the street. They write, they phone. We're getting them from all over. Quite a few of them do come from people who are trying to find out their rights and obligations under the act, that is true, but they come from all different communities. I wouldn't say that most of them just come from Yellowknife.
