Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the qualifications for the child and youth care counsellors and clinical supervisors are an extension of the current structure of the Community Counselling Program, where the knowledge, skills, and abilities (which are really the key to the job) are typically acquired through a Master's level education. This has been the case from the early stages of this current initiative. We have taken timely action to actively recruit for these positions. Information packages have been sent to post-secondary institutions with applicable programs, as well as Northwest Territories students enrolled in those programs. I'm pleased to report that these efforts have already resulted in a high level of interest from individuals enrolled in Master's programs from across the country, including individuals from the North who are excited at the possibility of returning to provide these new services.
