Thank you, Mr. Chair. The previous evaluations have demonstrated that the staff complement that we have is adequate. When we say we don't need more staff, it is really positions that haven't been identified as, you know, that facility is having a shortage of positions. You know, from time to time, there are sicknesses and vacancies that we have to manage, and that does make overtime challenging at times. We do look to the training opportunities to make sure that we have a ready pool of relief workers. I think that was part of the problem that we had seen in past years, where that pool wasn't as deep as we might have preferred, and then cascading that overtime problem by relying on a smaller number of people.

We do think that we have turned the corner with that problem and do have adequate positions and more relief workers available. This will always be a challenging thing to manage, overtime, and we are very mindful that we have to keep our eyes on that issue, because it can be a significant cost driver. The challenge is, we can't just add more positions without affecting the hours of the existing positions. There is that balancing that has to be done. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
