Mr. Chairman, I also know that there are many jobs people have been in for two, three years because they have been hired as casual positions, time after time. It seems to many people that the managers in certain areas use this method to hire friends and circumvent the affirmative action policy which I am very interested in this area, and I would think that if you want to hire someone to move some boxes, that is not what I am talking about. But when there are good paying jobs and there is a lot of affirmative action people out there, they should be given the opportunity to apply. I would like to know if the Premier can ensure that the jobs that are going to be more than say a month in length can be put out to the general public so that they know that they are there.
