Thank you, Mr. Chair. Following up on the Minister’s remarks, we have a number of apprentices in the department who support our maintenance staff in delivering our maintenance programs with regular preventative maintenance, but also our Deferred Maintenance Program. We have carpenters, electricians, plumbers. Many of these apprentices come to us through the Apprenticeship Program and stay with us to get their full training status and then go on to stay with the department for many, many years. Many of our long-term employees started with us as apprentices. We look at it as a way of building capacity in the department, capacity within the trades industry. Those who don’t stay with us go on to work for the contractors that do our contract work, but also as part of our success plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
