Statement made on 11 May 2006 by Senator Willie Adams (retired)

Hon. Willie Adams:

Honourable senators, at one time the government promised that in the future more jobs would be available for Aboriginal people.

My concern goes back to committee hearings where we received a promise that in the future any hiring in the government in Ottawa or across Canada would be open to all. Young Aboriginal people today have a better education than their parents. I believe it is important that the hiring policies of government departments include Aboriginal peoples.
