Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated, the turnover rate fluctuates in different areas, different amounts, different times. We noticed, for example, that if we are able to concentrate on a specific area, which we did in the one case in the territory, our turnover rate dramatically reduced. We worked on a teacher induction program and to help teachers who are new teachers and new to the North, then it makes a huge difference in terms of their retainability, much more satisfaction. We team them up with mentors, for example. This is one area that we use. Housing is one part of the turnover issue, but so are perhaps a lot of other areas, Mr. Speaker.
