Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Under the new program, I was hoping that we’d see more of these jobs being filled by people that aren’t employed in the GNWT or ones that are already at GNWT and can advance to management positions. I understand that we’re also reviewing our Public Service Act that reflects these direct appointments. The reason I’m getting into direct appointments is because I have had concerns of our P1 residents of the Northwest Territories not getting jobs and losing most of the jobs to people that have been living in the North not very long.

I just want to ask the Minister, what is he doing to address that issue where our P1s are being overlooked for jobs when we have a program here that’s supposed to promote and enhance and train and develop our northern residents? Thank you.
