You know, in fairness to my honourable colleague, I want to step back a little bit just so he understands where I am coming from. The Premier instituted a new system that made the Ministers and the departments accountable for their performance and recruitment of affirmative action employees and northerners, et cetera, rather than a department to be accountable, in terms of the old

Department of Personnel. I believe, as the Premier did, that this is the way in which to do it. So, the Ministers have some responsibility and they are accountable to this House for their performance. They have to table on an annual basis from now, how well they have done or others would say how badly they have done. I would suggest to my honourable colleague that in terms of northern employees and affirmative action employees in the GNWT, there has been a significant increase. But it would be fair to say, we have not done as well in senior management and we are working aggressively to try to correct that, Mr. Chairman. There is clearly a political commitment on behalf of the Members of this House and the Cabinet to make that happen. I think everybody was well intentioned in the past, but this policy of bringing more northerners, in particular, affirmative action northerners, into the government is a priority. It is both correct in terms of the way in which we do business; it is financially sound and it is just good business to ensure that the populace has adequate access to the jobs and opportunities this government has. That is certainly our intention and I hope that we will be able to demonstrate to my honourable colleague that, in fact, there has been some improvement in terms of participation by affirmative action northerners in the Government of the Northwest Territories.
