Mr. Chairman, the question I have for the Minister is on page 3-22, on GNWT orientations. Is that in your orientations? Do the senior managers who have responsibility for a region like my own have some specific cultural related orientation package for them? Some of the senior management that do have responsibility for our region may know the geographical area, the description, the profile, but they don’t really know the people or the culture. They rely a lot on the senior managers at the community and regional level. But they who have the authority to make decisions sometimes make it in the best interests of the corporate world but they don’t really have the cultural community sense of the regions. Is that something that Human Resources looks at in terms of GNWT orientation, having some of these people who are in a position to make a difference in our lives, are they somewhat involved in a regional orientation setting in terms of their language, knowing the people, knowing their culture or is it mostly in books that they read and they just check off this and that in terms of what they know about the Sahtu people? I don’t get a sense of how they are orientated into our region.
