Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct in pointing out the low levels of aboriginals in senior management. This is a problem that has been around for a long time. The Government of the Northwest Territories’ aboriginal representation in the public sector has been flatlined at 31 per cent for at least eight or nine years. We’ve proposed to the previous government and will be coming forward to propose once again that we look at making changes and moving towards an employment equity program.
