Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m very pleased to report to the Member that we have decentralized 150 positions from Yellowknife to the regions, and it has been spread out over a variety of positions.
We have a plan. We’re continuing to work towards fulfilling our plan. We’ve invested $21 million over three years to build 100 houses. We’re now entering our second year of building houses. We are spending $750,000 to have another 100 market houses built in the communities. We are investing $300,000 so that we can use that money for coming up with a plan to acquire office space so that we can no longer use the excuse of not having housing or office space to prevent against decentralization. Of course, we have introduced a Regional Recruitment Strategy so that we can start filling these hard-to-staff positions and also fill those positions that are being decentralized to the regions and to the small communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
