Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Obviously, many departments of the government are challenged and do need to get their representation of minorities increased and make sure that those who are under-represented are more adequately represented. RWED is one of the departments where the regional staff is very well-equipped and very representative. This is something that we've been working very hard toward.
So, on that premise, I think we have a lot of qualified candidates in the regions who are, in fact, aboriginal and would be probably best qualified for some of these positions. I would say that the larger issue is twofold: We have to take very seriously our hiring practices and look to address any issues which are systemically discriminating against adequate representation; at the same time, we must also be working with people internally in our workforce to ensure they have the training to be promoted.
I think we've found that our affirmative action numbers are certainly better in the lower levels than they are in senior management. I think we need to certainly work with people who are potential candidates for senior management to get them the training and skill development to move up the ladder, and that is one of the approaches that we've taken. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
