Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe I am speaking a little too fast for the Member, so I will slow down. I made it very clear to the Member from Yellowknife North that we, as a government, as well as Members of this Legislative Assembly, are concerned that the affirmative action policy is not working. We have 31 to 34 percent aboriginal and long-term northerners in government positions. The policy is not working so what we have committed to is to look at the policy and rewrite the policy so it better reflects 1997 and it works, so we can get 50 to 51 percent aboriginals and long-term northerners into this government's jobs. Thank you.
