I want to thank the Minister for that particular answer. Mr. Speaker, quite often I’ve heard, as well as I know other MLAs have heard, the hiring practice is quite often based on who you know, and as I’ve cited in my statement and I certainly want to cite here, is that HR provides probably the most friendly experience for these summer students ever to apply at any job, going forward that is, because, I mean, it’s quite competitive out there. So what is Human Resources doing to have the students apply for jobs in a normal fashion where they’re posted, where they actually tailor a resume and cover letter to directly show relevant experience, and ensure that we’re actually hiring students with the appropriate background and maybe even a little bit of experience and study areas, that they’re being hired in the appropriate areas as opposed to what I’ve heard on a few occasions that students are being hired, again, just because of who they’re known by? Thank you.
