Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Okay. Well, let's review the policy again and we'll go over what was mandated in that policy. I'm pretty clear that there was an advisory committee that was supposed to be established. That's all I'm saying. I don't see why we would sway from having an objective body to oversee the operations like that. Just with respect to Yellowknife alone, the population of Yellowknife comprises of roughly 51 percent of aboriginal population here and the public service here in Yellowknife only comprises 14 percent of indigenous aboriginals in the public service in a community which comprises 51 percent aboriginals, Mr. Speaker. That's probably why there's a lot of people out there that are always, you know, especially aboriginal northerners who are saying they're not getting the consideration that's based on their merit or experience or their education...
