Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, training-on-the-job programs are used quite extensively by this government already. There are more than 150 individuals currently on training-on-the-job programs. Those are typically for indeterminate-type positions. An It's certainly something we can take a look at, but I would suspect that most departments use the funding they have available for hiring summer students for positions that they have available, that students don't need to have extensive training for; typically entry-level programs. The training-on- the-job program is much more suited to bringing along a current employee to a higher level. That sort of investment it takes to train someone on the job is typically suited to that type of situation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
