Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I think there are some really good recommendations in here on a number of areas, but there are areas I am concerned about and that I have a question with. For instance, it has a statement here, "We are particularly concerned because management is not representative of the people the government serves." Well, that may or may not be true because my understanding is most of the managers, certainly in the senior end, have been in the north for more than ten years. Now if we are going to classify them as northerners, then they are northerners and they fall under the Affirmative Action Policy, to me that statement is questionable and perhaps one of the Members could address that. On the student employment, I think that is a good recommendation. I spoke, myself, about the need to address this concern for a central employment area for students. It is true, they are running around, building to building et cetera, and there are other areas that are of concern. The student employment office I think would be a good idea to follow up with. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
