Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I may take a moment and allow my colleague, Mr. Erasmus, a little indulgence. I would like to add one thing to the job strategy that was missed. That is, when we bring forward the job strategy, where there will be an integration of affirmative action program, I want to be sure everybody understands that the job strategy we are bringing forward will be tied to community and private sector partnerships and linkages that the government cannot continue to be the sole creator of jobs. So there will be a partnership there, either with the communities or with the provider sector so we can lever the dollars and get maximum benefit and get maximum impact to the people that need employment, whether it be seasonal or full time or sustainable as Mr. O'Brien has spoken about a number of occasions. I think on the affirmative action policy, and I am speaking for

myself, that there is a fine balance here. We have an important affirmative action policy which I support, but we also have a number of non-aboriginal, non-affirmative action people who have been in this country a long time. We have to balance it out. There is no doubt that no situation is perfect, and there may be isolated cases where some Members of the House and some members of the public field, a particular policy has not been put into place in a manner in which it should. In general, the affirmative action policy of the government is to do exactly as Mr. Erasmus says. That if some affirmative action individual person in the Northwest Territories qualifies for the job, that being in the affirmative action category, gives them priority hiring in relationship to the job.
