It will work great in a world where you have an economic base to work out of, but in our communities we don’t have that. The job opportunities are not there. I believe there is only the possibility of two people getting some sort of job within the government while the other 12 people are basically out in the cold. I’d like to ask the Minister what exactly are we realistically doing to invest in the people of the Northwest Territories, especially our young people who are going off to graduate from high school and getting post-secondary education only to be told, sorry, we’re spending $1.4 million to hire competition for the same job you’re coming home for. I find that kind of odd that on one hand you’re saying that, while we’re trying to get professionals to work in the Northwest Territories. Excuse me, the Aboriginal people in the Northwest Territories make up less than 30 percent of the workforce in the Government of the

Northwest Territories but they make up over 50-some percent of the population. Yet we have an Affirmative Action Policy and the majority of the people that are being laid off in Aklavik are affirmative action candidates. Affirmative action numbers are going to go down again. I’d like to know from the Minister what exactly we’re going to do to ensure we have retention programs and services in place to retain resident jobs in the Northwest Territories for our residents.
