This is certainly an issue for our government. All of the senior managers, as a criterion in assessing their performance, are directed to work in helping develop aboriginal people towards achieving senior management positions within the government. I think our problem is our pool of people. Not everybody wants to work for the Government of the Northwest Territories. There are a lot of options for aboriginal people who have the qualifications. Those are the issues that we have to deal with.
