Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand where the Minister is coming from with the policy, that it wasn't as really as effective as it was intended to be. If the advisory committee is still going to be an integral component of overseeing the development and implementation of the employment equity policies and affirmative action policies, how are we going to try to ensure that, yes, the advisory committee is very effective in their development and in the communication that they have with the government to ensure that we could make this affirmative action policy work, and there is work being done on the affirmative action policy, and the employment equity policy that's being developed? If it wasn't working in the past, 14 years ago, when it was established, why wasn't it working in the past? Was there representation on the committee that actually represented affirmative action groups, and interest groups, and other NGOs, along with government personnel, to ensure that, as a watchdog advisory committee, they could be effective and, therefore, we wouldn't have been in the affirmative action situation we are in today if we did have some kind of an action advisory committee that was effective in what they wanted to accomplish and how they were going to develop and refine the whole affirmative action policy and the new equity employment policy that's going to be coming out?

So before an official policy of employment equity actually rolls out that we know that there has been some committee that kind of speaks on behalf of the representative population of the NWT to ensure that the policy could work for all sectors of the economy and population. Could we do that first before rolling out this employment equity policy or the replacement to the affirmative action policy, Mr. Chair? Thank you.
