Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, this government has spent a great deal of time and resources on
the issue of employment creation for aboriginal people in the north. I would like to ask the Minister, given the obvious efforts that have been made over the past five years to increase the number of aboriginal people in the employed labour force, how does he explain the fact that the employment share of aboriginal people in the western Arctic has decreased between 1989 and 1994? It has decreased from 28 per cent of total employment in 1989 to 27 per cent of employment in 1994. Thank you.
