I think we need to be unapologetic and absolutely unabashed about getting northern people, priority 1 and priority 2 candidates to work in our public service, and just to confirm, for the record, I’d like to ask the Premier to confirm for the public that this is a process which is vetted by more than one person. If people are worried about people picking, as Mr. Hawkins said, you know, family members or… Hey, you know what? What’s wrong with family members, you know? I mean, as a parent, as a grandparent, do you think I don’t speak for a whole lot of people in the Northwest Territories who want their kids and their grandkids to live in this territory, and not ship them, export them south somewhere else to work? Let me tell you, there are a lot of people out there. I hear from them all the time.

Will the Premier confirm for this House that in fact that this is a process which is fair and aboveboard?
