Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have a departmental working group and we have met with the working group that is also established in Health and Social Services. We have met with the Yellowknife Association of Community Living and we’ve started to develop a plan to increase...First of all, we wanted to have a number of presentations to improve on the sensitivity of senior management within the government, so we’ll have sensitivity training for GNWT managers and employees. We are starting that with a pilot project within the Department of Human Resources. We will develop an awareness program for Government of the Northwest Territories managers and employees. We are allocating $50,000 in funding to start this work. Most importantly, we are working in partnership with the NWT Council of Persons with Disabilities and other stakeholder groups. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
