A couple of things. We’ve put together some Aboriginal cultural awareness training programs that are available to new staff as they come into the GNWT. Also – and I’ve talked about this every opportunity I’ve had to get outside of Yellowknife and into the regional settings – we have a program where we’re willing to facilitate secondments either way with Aboriginal community governments. Where individuals who are working in the Aboriginal community government could come on to the GNWT, give them an opportunity to have some cross-training and learn a little bit more about different areas, but we can also send our employees there to some of the Aboriginal governments or the community governments. It’s an opportunity for them to learn a little bit more about different organizations and different perspectives. We are starting to see some

uptake on that. I’m really happy to finally see that some people are approaching us and wanting to do these secondments.

We also are absolutely willing to advertise positions for Aboriginal governments across the Northwest Territories. Unfortunately, we haven’t had very much uptake on that. I keep referencing it and sending letters out to the different groups, letting them know that we’re willing to do that for them. We haven’t had as much uptake.

We want to work with our partners. We want to find solutions. The Aboriginal Employees Advisory Committee is going to provide us with some sound advice on some of the challenges that we may have created within our system outside of Yellowknife in some of the smaller communities. Things like Mr. Menicoche mentioned previously.

So we’re trying to work on these issues. I take your point and I’m looking forward to working with committee on trying to address some of these issues. Any input that any Members have, we’re open to anything to help us find some solutions.

Right now, representation changes as employees come and go, but I think we’re about 37 percent Aboriginal; I think we’re… Sorry. Thirty-two percent Aboriginal, about… Yes, about 32, 33, 34 percent Aboriginal in the public service right now, which is significantly lower than the population. Interestingly enough, it’s pretty close to the workforce.
