Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as a territorial government, we often say buy North as a way of encouraging the development of our economy. However, by not hiring northern locals and aboriginals, we are sending a different message.
One of the barriers that limits the hiring of Northerners is how job descriptions are prepared. Many times, the posted qualifications are not in line with the actual job requirements. I have heard of cases where people who have left a particular job, working at it for many years, were not considered for re-employment at the same job. The job description had changed while the actual job had not.
At the appropriate time, I will have questions concerning how government job descriptions are written. Thank you.
