Thank you, Madam Chair. I acknowledge and accept the Member's frustration that the workforce in the GNWT continues to not be as representative as we would all like it to be. I expect that is going to be something that I am tasked to accomplish in the next few years, to at least try to make some movement on that dial and to improve the percentages and the numbers to be more truly reflective of the population that we serve.

Madam Chair, the tools with which we will do that, and the way that we will accomplish that, simply is not something that I am prepared to speak to on the fly in this context. It is something that is going to occupy, I have no doubt, a large part of the time that I spend in the Department of Finance working with the Department in Finance, since human resources is a significant portion of what they do.

Again, I am certainly going to commit to the fact that I expect to have to spend time on that, to develop the proper system, to ensure that we have the right tools, whether it's in the Affirmative Action Policy or otherwise, and whether that requires re-examining the self-reporting or if there's some other way that we can achieve the goal of truly representing who people are in our work force. Thank you, Madam Chair.
