Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't recall the committee, I don't know if it was AOC or maybe the Social Programs committee wasn't in total favour of it, but I know the affirmative action policy as it stands today calls for an affirmative action advisory committee to oversee the affirmative action policy and make sure that the government is committed to developing a public service that is representative of the population of the NWT; namely, women in management and indigenous aboriginals in government, in the public service. So I just don't see what's wrong with having a totally independent, objective body to oversee the operations of our Human Resources department are to ensure that the government is building our public service that is totally representative of the population. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
