Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know the program is basically designed to run for 24 to 48 months and not guaranteeing jobs at the senior level when they complete the program. I have received some information from what I would term eligible candidates for the program that in the second round of selections, many of these applicants that have submitted applications to the first round of participants in the program are basically taking the attitude now that they will not apply for the second round of program eligibility due to the fact that they, and I quote, a lot of them say "why bother because we will not even be chosen anyway," and many of these applicants are of aboriginal descent. So I just wanted to ask the Premier maybe what assurances can he give these aboriginal applicants to make them feel that they will be given an equal opportunity to participate in this management assignment program? Thank you.
