Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my statement, I made reference to the number of dollars that were lapsed within this government. In the existing budget, there is some $250,000 that is identified for Staff Retention Policy. Yet, Mr. Speaker, in the previous fiscal year, there was some $403,000 lapsed in public service career training. Realistically, this is $153,000 less than the previous year.

I would like to ask the Minister, with these resources he has identified, are those significant enough to meet the requirements we need for training, realizing it is an area where we have a lot of problems with trying to get people moving up in the ranks.

What has been done in that area to ensure that money is being spent usefully? Thank you.
