MOTION 6-16(4): HIRING PREFERENCE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Thursday, November 5, 2009, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the government provide clearly articulated preference for persons with disabilities and clearly articulate how persons with disabilities fit within the existing priority hiring categories; and further, that the Department of Human Resources develop and publicize an awareness campaign outlining all categories of the Affirmative Action Policy and the responsibility of candidates to self-identify; and furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly recommends the government provide a response for this motion within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
