Thank you, Madam Chair. We are looking forward to adding resources to that function and enhancing the ability of the existing special advisor to not only do that liaison work but also help guide a whole-of-government approach to some of these issues. We have quite frankly noticed that we need more leadership on some of these challenging issues, and we were also facing the reality of an urgent need to respond to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry and Calls to Justice. These positions will support that work and provide some of that leadership and, as the Premier mentioned in the opening remarks, also support a whole-of-government implementation of some gender equity lenses. Some of that has already been done, but we do recognize that we need to do more. These positions will support all of that work. Thank you, Madam Chair.
