When the Aboriginal Employment Initiative first came to fruition, the idea was that they would hire someone to play a liaison role between the business community and the Aboriginal community, and I think they were anticipating, based on the demographics here in Manitoba and in Winnipeg, which has a very large Aboriginal population, that this was the place to start it.
Quand on a décidé de mettre sur pied l'Aboriginal Employment Initiative, on voulait embaucher au départ quelqu'un pour faire la liaison entre le secteur des affaires et la collectivité autochtone et vu que Winnipeg a une population autochtone très importante, je crois qu'on a pensé que c'était le bon endroit où commencer.
