Mr. Speaker, that quote appealed to me because I don't think that our government has done enough of that when it comes to addressing the various hiring issues within human resources in the Government of the Northwest Territories. Direct intervention by the Minister of human resources is necessary. Continuously friends will take care of friends, families hire their families, and they protect each other from any potential repercussions because of it.
There are many people who want to better themselves and to seek employment by the Government of the Northwest Territories, but if there's no room to get their foot in the door and if there are gatekeepers protecting an exclusive club, then very few will ever get ahead, let alone get hired.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, I strongly believe that a renewal strategy needs to be implemented within the entire human resources department of the Government of the Northwest Territories. Structural changes must be done to address the hiring practices, the hiring culture, and potential off-the-book decisions that are made that adversely affect applicants.
I will have questions for the Minister of human resources later today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
