Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is again for the Premier regarding the affirmative action policy. Statistics can be presented in many ways, Mr. Speaker. They can be bent any which way and interpreted any way we wish. The Premier previously stated we have 36 percent aboriginal employment. What has not been taken into account, and I wonder if he could confirm, and he said it himself previously in this House, we should also consider long-term northerners as part of this policy. Could the Premier confirm the 36 percent does not take into account long -term northerners?
