Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are certain different departments in this government, if you look at the statistics, they have a pretty low percentage of aboriginal people within the department. I guess the concern here is at the deputy minister level. We do have aboriginal people who are deputy ministers. The number might be low in the assistant deputy minister positions and in the director positions. We have some departments that need more work. There are some departments that are doing fairly well in aboriginal representation in their departments in key positions. It is ongoing work that we have to do as a government, and we have to encourage these departments to take a closer look. It is going to have to be a key human resource strategy of each department to refocus and look at this area. Thank you.
