Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I appreciate the deputy minister's response -- or sorry, the president's response. You know, I can't stress enough how often when I am talking with my constituents that are housing clients how really a lot of it, it comes down to how they feel they've been treated and often they feel that they have been disrespected or that there's been a rudeness. And I mean, I get that frontline workers also have a burnout and a -- a need to almost protect themselves in a way by having a little bit of a maybe a reserved or removed manner. However, I feel that, you know, it is critical that these -- that the frontline workers here understand that this is a social client service, and I do see that the department appears to be moving in that direction. So I'm pleased to hear that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Ms. Nokleby. Minister, you want to...

Just a comment, and I appreciate the -- the Member's comments as well too because training is is something that I really want to be identified for our LHOs and to support them, whether it be from -- from client service to, you know, finance. And I'm kind of looking at a similar model to what MACA had provided for the senior SAOs, senior administrative officers. And also the training that they did have for their boards and their councils there. So something similar, not identical, but my -- my way of thinking is very similar to what MACA has already set up. And the school of community government as well too, and what they can offer. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Minister. Committee -- oh, Ms. Nokleby.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to make one last comment as I appreciate the Minister's comments around the training and awareness. A new thing that I recently had a constituent make me more aware of where we're often talking about trauma-informed approaches to things, but I think we also need to have an FASD approach to our work and it's going to be something that you're now going to start to hear me saying to a lot of the Ministers on that side of the room, that just as much as we are affected by trauma in the North we're affected by fetal alcohol syndrome as well. So I think that there's an aspect in that training that needs to be a part of that as well. Thank you.
