Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we are aware of the lack of supervision that many of these workers are under. One of the advantages of having people in supervisory positions is so that workers can discuss some of the issues with them. They have a sounding board and some direction in difficult situations. Unfortunately in the North, most of the supervisors are also carrying heavy caseloads themselves just because of the sheer volume of the work. Yes, we do recognize this as a problem and hope to address it in the best way that we can. Thank you.
