There was a previous discussion that brought forward the point that reserve units are in charge of their own mandate of bodies. I'm hoping that with that consideration the reserve units themselves could emphasize bringing in diversity by hiring indigenous people. I know, though, that we usually have to put the “X” in the box to meet the merit system requirement.
I wonder whether these reserve units could change their application process to require a basic literacy level, because most of the applicants can't do the advanced one. Through 2016, Statistics Canada proved that our people, or my nation, lacks the basic literacy level. There might be flexibility in the positions themselves to allow, rather than a petty officer second class or sergeant in a given position, more indigenous people to be in a local setting for them. That is something they might consider.
