Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. It refers to affirmative action. Mr. Speaker, the policy that the government has now targets specific groups that are under-represented within the public service.
In view of the fact that this government negotiates socio-economic agreements with various private sector resource developers to increase aboriginal and northern employment, would the Minister please advise whether the Government of the Northwest Territories has a standard definition of what constitutes a northern resident or an affirmative action employee. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
