The House may recall me saying a lot of this when there was a theme day on human resources, and human resources supports all the other departments. They are the client departments, so this has to be a whole-of-government approach, and I'm glad I know that other departments pay attention to the exchanges in the House. I can speak to what the Human Resources Department does and what it offers. Specifically, there is an onboarding process for all staff. There is a 90-day program that has a variety of different orientations to support the basics of how to get oriented to being a government employee, but also a variety of other online educational opportunities. There are education and career advancement opportunities, there is career advancement within, training programs within the GNWT, as well as opportunities to apply to take courses and education outside of the GNWT. Indeed, there can be training plans that can be requested and people can have an opportunity to seek training plans to put themselves on a certain career pathway. Again, that does take all of government, so I am, again, pleased to have the opportunity to speak to it because it does mean that each department has to have responsibility to seek out those opportunities for their individual staff.
