Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories work towards increasing participation of Indigenous students in all programs, grants and contributions focused on youth by advertising the availability for youth development and making it known in small communities; creating recruitment campaigns in small communities so youth can participate in existing programs and apply for positions; have an advocate for youth and students in each department; creating and tracking hiring targets in all communities for Indigenous youth seeking public service employment under programs such as SNAP, summer students, and internships; and further, that the Department of Finance restructure the summer student employment program to allow a more extended period for students to apply; require managers to hire priority 1s summer students and deplete the priority 1 candidate list before considering non-priority 1 students; ensuring not to leave one priority 1 summer student without summer employment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
