Thank you, Mr. Chair. To my knowledge, there are very few, if any, bilingual-required positions in the GNWT where the bilingual is an Indigenous language. There are a number of bilingual-required HR positions that are French. And I know there is a bilingual bonus for people who speak one of our official languages but I think, really, in the HR hiring process, especially for an area such as the Indigenous Languages and Education Secretariat, those Members who speak an Indigenous language are not getting the appropriate credit and additional scoring on priority on their applications within hiring. So that's what this motion intends to do. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
