Mr. Chair, affirmative action is about P1s, P2s, and so on. Yes, I agree that Northerners have to also be part of the whole concept of employment, and we have a lot of that. Most of the people who work for the territorial government are P2s, and the advancement always seems to be a P2 and not a P1. I'm not saying that all P1s are perfect, either, but when you have people who are in place who could be mentored within an organization, why aren't we taking that opportunity?

The terms of reference with HR, I have a concern about that, especially with Lands. Two main things in Indigenous governments are lands and water. I just feel that using those terms very loosely is unacceptable. There are people who could have filled a position. If a person is an effective employee if they were a term position, is that an effective employee? I don't know. I want to have clarity on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
