Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I did not quite hear an answer to either one of my questions there, but 180 is what percentage of all employees in the department in the Territories? One hundred and eighty would represent what percentage of the total employees? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not know if the Minister can answer this question, but do we know how many people in the Territories are affirmative action employees, or are classified as affirmative action residents? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The question is so general. You are questioning the Minister responsible for Justice and we have to stick to his department. In this case, the question is not within his area to respond to. Maybe you want to rephrase it to his department, but not for the whole territorial government. Mr. Delorey.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will stick to the question then. Maybe the Minister could supply the percentage of people working in the department that are affirmative action candidates, and what percentage the department has for a target date as far as using the Affirmative Action Policy for. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will attempt to provide a detailed answer to the Member. As of February 11th, Mr. Speaker, going back to the original question, 36.7 percent of Justice indeterminate and term employees were indigenous aboriginal persons, and 21.6 percent of Justice indeterminate and term employees were indigenous non-aboriginal persons. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure of the total numbers, but on the action plan hopefully, Mr. Speaker, we can then try to see where we can make improvements to facilitate the growing number of bottleneck positions and put aboriginal indigenous and non-aboriginal indigenous people into supervisory and management roles. Thank you.
