Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have an obligation to work with one another. I think when Members of the Legislature have concerns, it is their prerogative to bring them to me, in this case, specifically, because I am responsible for affirmative action. I ask that the Member bring those concerns to me and we will get advice from the staff on how best to proceed, so it is done and handled in a fair and proper manner. We should also assure the public that we have an obligation under our policies to be fair and to extend that perception of fairness to everyone who is seeking employment with our government. We also have a clear and strong obligation and duty to fairness to all our employees. We are accountable for that. The unions ensure that, the Members of the Legislature ensure that, as well as every Minister in the government knows they are accountable for the way in which our staff are handled and treated, and we are obliged to be fair. Thank you.
