Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, given the fact that now I have armed with some real numbers and statistics, I guess yesterday was a different story the Minister gave me, was the fact that in the Northwest Territories maybe people don't self identify disabilities. But in fact, in other jurisdictions across this country the self-identification process is at play. So I believe it's a fair comparison to compare the amount of disabled persons working for the Northwest Territories government with other jurisdictions; absolutely a fair comparison. I'd like to ask the Minister, aside from this employment equity policy paper that is somewhere in the Human Resources department and might see the light of day by the end of the year, when will he take some concrete and some sincere measures to improve these abysmal numbers that we have in employing persons with disabilities here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
