Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, and that's the answer I wanted because I think that there are people out there that -- that feel that by giving preference to P1 candidates and showing -- you know, like I've got emails stating, you know, racism, and, but in reality it's the law that allows us to do what we're doing. And it's got nothing to do with racism or anything like that. I just want to -- I want to make that point because it's important that -- that people hear it.
And the other thing is, you know, like I said before, I made a statement in the House and -- with respect to this, and -- but, you know, I'd like to say that, you know, for P1s and P2 candidates, like, I've got no problem with people -- you know, people who are being -- who are born and raised in the Northwest Territory, you know, they deserve to be working here, whether it's public sector or whatever. But at the same time, what we're trying to do is increase the number of Indigenous people in the public service. We've been trying that for 30 years, and nothing seems to work.
I threw out a solution that we probably raise it pretty quickly but, you know -- and I know it probably wasn't -- you know, was probably not -- not well received. But at the same time, we have to do something. We have to have solutions if we're going to change this. And I'm glad to hear that we're going to review -- be revisiting this, this policy. I just want to be -- you know, I just want the government to be careful that we don't open up something that will -- that we can't go back into. That's my -- that's my -- you know, my worry. And, you know, I don't want to close by any, you know, any Charter challenges as well. So just keep that in mind. Thank you.
