Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for personnel, Mr. Handley, and is with regard to my Member's statement with respect to indigenous native women trying to find employment in this government; and also being promoted, enhanced and allowing them to take on government positions.

I would like to ask the Minister exactly what are we doing to ensure that we do not by-pass the affirmative action policy, especially when it comes to indigenous native women and also women in general?
