Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, let's just talk about this government then. Let's talk about this government and its practice of direct appointments to people under the affirmative action policy. It doesn't include very many disabled persons that I'm aware of; maybe one, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Minister if indeed he can provide any targets or any type of scenario that would see an increase to the number of disabled persons -- and I've got a couple of constituents, Mr. Speaker, that have faced nothing but barriers when it comes to employment with the Government of the Northwest Territories -- and I'd like him to stand up and tell me what he's going to do to improve this for people with disabilities here in the Northwest Territories trying to gain employment with their own government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
