I don't have the statistics with me off the top of my head, but I'm prepared to provide them to the honourable Member. I want to tell you, though, what I've done. I've given clear instructions to the department on two things: if you hire south, it better be on my desk ahead of time because I want to know about it; and, when you're hiring north, preference is given to aboriginal people. So I'm prepared to provide the Member and this House with our success and failure as it relates to affirmative action, both from an aboriginal component and from affirmative action with respect to northerners.
