Has there been discussion? I know right now we’re under fiscal restraint in terms of ensuring we control our revenues, but at the same time we control our expenditures. We’re trying to do more with less, so we’re at such a point it will probably make it necessary for us to cooperate and work together. There's more than likely cross-departmental initiatives to try to advance some major initiatives and do it so that it’s effective but at the same time it’s strategic.

One of the key things that I mentioned is just trying to ensure that we have a fairly reflective ratio of First Nation or northern indigenous workforce. Has the department considered working in partnership with regional governments to try to reach that reality and, at the same time, look at some long-range human resource strategies in terms of trying to acknowledge some of the existing initiatives that are out there with the federal government? Trying to at least work in partnership and trying to develop some concrete strategies. Mahsi.
