I just wanted to know whether or not it was in conjunction with another agency outside of the government, but it appears that it is a partnership between ECE and Personnel. My closing comment, Mr. Chairman, I want to take the time to...In my community, as people know, in the past, it has been difficult to be able to give position in the Department of Personnel without a great amount of appeals that have been launched, because there are fairly qualified people in my constituency. I have noticed the appeals are probably still at a fairly moderate rate but I don't find it as politically contentious as it used to be. I do want to take the time to certainly thank the current superintendent and the past superintendent for, what I believe, is fairness in ensuring the affirmative action policy is adhered to. Positions are being granted to individuals who are qualified and who are affirmative action candidates.

I think that should be noted because I certainly have appreciated the support of the department in ensuring fairness has been implemented and that you get the most qualified people on the basis of what they know and not who they know. Thank you.
