I’d just like to ask if there’s a possibility that we can get a breakdown in regard to these different positions and the status of the individuals there in regard to P1s, P2s, P3s. Is it possible that there are any people there with disabilities working within this department?

If it’s possible, you can circulate it around and all the other Members can take a look at it.

Can I have the status of the P1 position? What is it? Is it a manager position or a janitor?

I guess I will leave it to your discretion. This is a private, confidential matter and if we identify one position it could become public information which I don’t think is what this House would like to do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. The Chair agrees and perhaps that could be discussed in private. Mr. Krutko.

I think it’s a question of knowledge. My point is that we have an Affirmative Action Policy that we’re supposed to be implementing and working with. If you can’t show us that it’s working by each department, how can we know if the policy is really being adhered to and that we are meeting the goals we’ve set to try to ensure that the Affirmative Action Policy is being implemented and people are being seen to be filling positions? For me, by having one person out of 16 positions tells me that the Affirmative Action Policy is not working in this particular department. If he can provide that information, either a written copy or if he doesn’t want to answer it here, at least give us an opportunity to see exactly what the status of that position is.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Perhaps the Minister could respond to the overall intent of the question.

The Affirmative Action Policy works for every department. I did indicate that we would provide the information to the Member. Thank you.
