Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To put it into proper perspective, I believe there is approximately 11 or 12 deputy ministers in this government, and ADMs I have lost track of. There are many senior management positions in this government, and out of that, like the Member said, three are hired from the south. Ultimately, the majority of them are, I guess, including some Members sitting in the House today, that did come from southern Canada from one time or the other. What I am saying is that our government is very committed to hiring in the north. We have always been committed to hiring in the north, and we have always tried to find people to fill key positions for the government in the Northwest Territories.
When we were unable to do that, we did look south. We did not close the doors, or close the borders to the rest of Canada, and we can learn from southerners as well as southerners can learn from us. So, in looking at the numbers, in general, of senior management, and the numbers that were hired from southern Canada, and the total number of senior management that work for this government today, the numbers are very small. We should be looking at what people have to offer, and the only way we can really judge whether the decision was right or wrong, is whether they produce in the job they received. Thank you.
