In November of 1993, there were 106 individuals who were eligible for affirmative action status out of the 262 employees. That is being categorized. It doesn't mean that they were hired because they were aboriginal or whatever it was. They were hired, but they fit in the category. Fifty-nine of those people were indigenous aboriginal employees. Like the Member said, many of these people are out in the field. Forty-four were indigenous non-aboriginal employees, that means long-term and non-aboriginal people. One of them was a resident disabled employee and two were resident women in a non-traditional occupation. The total affirmative action employees were 106. I recognize the Member's concern, but I think that if there was an issue and a situation where the Member feels that a person was not given due consideration, I would like to know about that. Thank you.
