Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement, I was talking about the availability of opportunities in the workplace for persons with disabilities. There are many recommendations contained in the NWT action plan for persons with disabilities related to employment. I would like to ask the Minister of Human Resources if, first of all, he has a role to play in this and what kind of progress has been made on some of these recommendations. One of the recommendations is to develop and deliver regional community employment programs for persons with disabilities that support them to seek and be successful in employment. Then it makes a reference to some North Slave activities under support of activities, but one of the actions required is to pilot this in two more communities other than the North Slave. I would like to ask the Minister if he could update us on the progress on such pilots. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
