Thank You, Mr. Chairman. Actually, the whole initiation of the western Arctic affirmative action plan came out of recommendations and discussions at the Standing Committee on Social Programs last fall where there was concern that the corporation was not, perhaps, doing as much in the western Arctic as it might have been doing in other places. Therefore, we put together a plan, financed in-house and we have actually created now five positions, three of which are going to provide opportunities for people in-house to move up in the organization by getting training in a higher position and that will allow us to backfill their jobs at the appropriate time. We have two new employees of the corporation from outside. That means there are training opportunities primarily through to April 1999, when we will be able to reassess long-term employment potential as a result of the new territories being created. Thank you.
