Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Cabinet and Premier have been extremely helpful today in providing information. Obviously, they were prepared for these questions.
I have a question. This is something I get asked about a lot in my constituency when it comes to summer student hires. Could they give us a breakdown, please, between P1 candidates and P2 and other candidates for summer students hired by this government for this upcoming summer season?
Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister responsible for Human Resources, Mr. Bob McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have that information and I’ll provide it to the Members.
Mr. Speaker, thank you. I understand that the Minister does have that information. Will he make it available now? Later? Thank you.
As of May 18, 2011, 3:00 p.m., we have 166 summer students hired: 91 are indigenous Aboriginal; 75 are indigenous non-Aboriginal; zero other summer students. We have 16 job offers out for signature: four to indigenous Aboriginals; 11 to indigenous non-Aboriginal; and one to other summer student, for a total of 16 job offers out there. Thank you.
I’m sure that although this information was available to the Members, it is good for the public to know that and it is very good news. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I didn’t hear a question there. Item 15, notices of motion. Item 16, notices of motion for first reading of bills.
Colleagues, before I go on to the next item on the Order Paper, the Chair is going to call a short break.
