Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a comment now, and that's with respect to the P1. I think it's very important that, when we look at hiring P1s, you know, there's a reason why you have that in place. I had told one of my colleagues in the last two days, if you're an Indigenous or an Aboriginal person, a lot of times what happens is, even if you've got a lot of education and a lot of experience, it's overlooked. They'll say, well, we can't hire that person just because they're Aboriginal. Sometimes they don't actually look at what you have for qualifications, and I think it's important that we do that, and that we direct the hiring people to do that as well. Just a comment, thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. What is the hiring process? What is involved in it? I understand that there may have been some changes, where there are some tests that are administered, whether it be, I don't know, writing essays, I'm not sure? How does that happen? I guess I've never had a government job, so I don't know. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to go back to the P1s again. Thinking about that, say you've got two people, you've got a P1, and the other person is not. It comes down, and the P1, if they have the minimum requirements for the position, will they be hired? Is that what we can expect, or is there something else in there that would stop that from happening? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The next point is, I guess, on bonuses. I can see the value in paying bonuses, but at the same time, I see the value in housing people on the street, as well. It's kind of a hard position for us to be put in. I'm just wondering if the department has talked to the employees receiving bonuses, and I'd like to know how important it is for those employees to receive those bonuses? Would it mean that, if they didn't receive it, they would be gone the next day? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If there was 24 percent that were successful, of the remaining percentage, which should be 76 percent, how many P1s actually applied in that 76 percent, and how many, if they were unsuccessful, appealed those hires? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The next one is affirmative action. That's a tough one for me, because I guess I'm always concerned about changing things that have been in place for a while. We talk about things being grandfathered in, because if you change something, it does open up a can of worms. That one, we have to give some thought to. In terms of P1 hires, are there any stats on the number of positions that have been filled that have both P1s and non-P1s applying for it, and what the percentage of successful P1s were, and how many of those P1s who were unsuccessful challenged or appealed? Two parts. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I had a concern from a constituent last week, and it had to do with internal job postings versus advertised. The person was outside the department and applied, but the job was actually, I guess, filled internally. I am wondering how many of the positions that become available are filled internally by the departments. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the things I believe in is that it is important to get the straight goods, and the only way to do that is one-on-one with the people in an industry. There is not a lot of people in the fishing industry. I would ask the Minister if she would commit to meeting with the fishers on a one-to-one basis and discuss their vision for the industry and any concerns that they may have with it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I thank the Minister for that answer. The next question is: will the Minister commit to replacing the current NWT representative sitting on the board of FFMC with somebody who is actually a fisher?
