Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm concerned that there are too many ways for GNWT staff not to apply the Affirmative Action Policy the GNWT has created. Many tools to support Indigenous hires, but these tools are not being applied consistently.

Can the Minister commit to issue an HR directive or policy that holds HR staff accountable to ensure that for every entry-level position posted across the GNWT, that full consideration is provided to Indigenous applicants on the record with GNWT. Staff need to be held accountable, and can the Minister ensure there is accountability measures in place that require HR staff to report on the use of ICGP for every entry-level hire? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
