Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I take issue with what the Minister has to say because if you use his rationale, you know, it's completely backwards here because I know this government tries to get a workforce that's representative of the population that it serves. Direct appointments are made under the affirmative action policy to P1 candidates. It happens all the time and this government does it. I've seen it happen. But yet when it comes to persons with disabilities, direct appointments are nowhere to be found, Mr. Speaker, absolutely nowhere to be found. I'd like to ask the Minister, will he look at some proactive approaches to increasing the number of persons with disabilities that are able to gain employment with this government? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
