Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to follow up a little on the jobs issue I raised yesterday, and we talked about the 1,032 positions out there in one form or another and the 466 that are actively being recruited.

I made a post on my Facebook and I got some really interesting feedback, and one of the particular issues that’s been raised that I thought was interesting, more so in the sense of have we ever done this, is have we ever considered engaging the citizenship to understand and appreciate the practicality of trying to hire people for these jobs? We’re trying to get people in all regions throughout the Northwest Territories, but some of the challenges that the public sees are pay, benefits, affirmative action, recruitment method, housing, child care, flexible work plans and certainly training opportunities.

Has the Department of Human Resources ever considered calling upon its citizenry to create a bit of a working group to discuss some of the problems the public sees day to day when they’re trying to get access to employment, but sometimes they’re facing not an open door but a closed door on these challenges? Thank you.
