Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We used the affirmative action policy quite regularly whenever we're hiring positions. The numbers are not certainly where we would like to have them and a number of issues come into that. It's not that we don't look at those, they're even to the point where we had some candidates picked out for jobs and then they decided they weren't interested in them. So we do participate in the Management Assignment Program. We have one member here who works as a table officer who takes part in that under the affirmative action policy. We do offer work experience opportunities for the Native Women's Society. We will be having a Sergeant-at-Arms training position to provide some young aboriginal person with some experience in the proceedings in the House, with the intention of making the advancement opportunities available to them. We also continue to hire summer students and intern positions here with research and public affairs that we do use the affirmative action policy for. We're trying to meet our goals in there and increase our numbers within the Legislative Assembly staff. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
