Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. In follow-up to changing the program in 2018, the department did commit to conducting a review of the program. This was done in 2020, and I believe the report itself was shared with standing committee in the fall. The review was quite positive. It found the program was achieving many of the objects and outcomes that it was intended to. It was providing benefits to the communities. It is important to note that, with this particular fund, it's the communities that decide how they want to use those dollars. They can use it to subsidize a number of positions, or they could use it to fund a more significant number of positions. They could also decide if they wanted to use it for seasonal-type positions or more full-time-type positions. It is very flexible. It is intended to be that way. The communities wanted to have the ability to make those decisions, and we have designed the program to do so. Thank you.
