Thank you, Mr. Chair. We’re building capacity in a number of different ways. One is we do have professional evaluators. We have folks, for example, who have Master’s degrees in program evaluation who work in the unit, and they can provide that expertise directly. But we also are trying to work in partnership with departments that don’t have that expertise, so that they can work with us and pick up some training on the project, as it were. Of course, we’re always encouraging staff to take advantage of training opportunities. Several of the folks that we have who have earned Master’s degrees in evaluation have received those degrees through support from the GNWT on the job, so we’re encouraging folks to do that too.
Over the long term our goal is to get away from having to always contract out for evaluation, and to really build an evaluation culture within the GNWT so that this constant improvement focus is there in all of our programs and services. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
