No, I don't believe that. I don't believe that affirmative action is the way to go. Sometimes it is counterproductive.
One thing we are asking is how we can help those people to qualify. For example, we went to the police. They said that we don't have a qualified person, so should they lower the standard? We said no, but try to understand the reason why you do not have a qualified person. What we notice is that when we look at an 18- or 20-year-old, law enforcement is not in their milieu. They have that mentality, because it's passed on by their parents.
The other thing is that parents don't pass on the indigenous experiences that Canadians have. They don't have that. They came from a different culture. That also becomes a barrier. What we're looking for is not a handout but a hand up. That means that for people who are really looking for those qualifications.... If you are designing a machine to get a product, and you're not getting the right product, then you look at the machine and ask why it does not give the product that is expected.
I don't think affirmative action is the way to go.
