Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this section, corporate human resource services, is now going to fall under the corporate human resources section later on, but, again, it's the same area. So I guess dealing with it now would save us the time of dealing with it later.

The issue of exit surveys, it is done, it is in place, has been in place for a couple of years. It is an optional process. So we do ask individuals to do this and if they feel they want to, then they can. If they don't feel like they want to, then they don't. I guess that's the simple and short of it.

The area of pension specialists and dealing with some of these backlogs, yes, we've had somebody on from superannuation to work with us in this area to help deal with our backlog and help us set up our systems and correct...The Government of the Northwest Territories is no longer the number one employer. In fact, we're having to compete in an ever-increasing competitive market, as a number of Members have stated, of trying to pull skilled people in and come up with that. The area of how do we bring people in and bring them up the line is something we definitely need to work on. It's an area that we've identified. Affirmative action is another one of those areas that is an area that we know there is a need to focus on. There's been much debate about it in past governments. Since I've been a Member since the 13th Assembly it's been one of those areas, and we're hoping in the next couple of months to be able to bring something forward for discussion with Members about where we would go with this piece, the employment equity, affirmative action piece, and the work as well would deal with individuals within the North that feel they are maybe under serviced and that one being the disabilities group of people in the Northwest Territories. So there's a lot of work that needs to be done. We've identified them. We've set up what is the start of some of these areas that are going to go forward on, but, unfortunately, being caught and trying to catch up with a backlog of files has delayed some of the work and the timing we were hoping to proceed with this. Hopefully with this work that's being done with the Hackett Group, and our systems, and how we deal with these issues, and how many times we handle a piece of paper will help us in streamlining some of these things and get us back on track. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
