Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Regional Recruitment Strategy is one where a position would be identified by a department. Of all the vacant positions that may be in the region, the department would identify a position and then determine that that position would be one that can

be filled by an individual that does not have all of the skills necessary to do that function at this point but can be trained up.

We are having some difficulties finding the key positions in the department; however, we have found some. We managed to put one individual on, like the Member said. We have five more individuals where we’re developing training plans and those ones are underway, so we’re looking at that. We have four more applicants where the department is developing a job description type of thing, one in management, so we’re looking for an individual with certainly some schooling and some skills that can be brought into a management level. We’re actually looking at a nursing position, as well, with one of the health authorities, an officer position, and a clerical position as well.
