Thank you, Mr. Speaker. While this experienced northern staff that we have

which I agree we have a lot, and they should be in other positions, are carrying this gentlemen around, trying to help him learn his job, what is going to happen to community empowerment? Where is this government's commitment to affirmative action, and hiring northerners to do jobs after 30-40 years, they are still not deemed to be acceptably qualified to do? It just boggles my mind, Mr. Speaker, after all these years that we still have to do this.
