Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm glad to hear the deputy minister speak about the Indigenous hiring targets. I think this is definitely one of the departments where we could be really pushing hard to increase representation.
And I guess just further to the succession planning, is there any sort of a, like, job shadowing type program going on right now with existing employees within the department? The reason I ask is I'm aware of a couple of the pathfinder type positions within ITI where there's a wealth of knowledge, and I would be concerned that they'll retire out and not -- and you know, and as always happens in the territories, we lose that wealth of knowledge. So I guess I'm looking along succession planning, job shadowing but also I guess retention of knowledge and how do we -- we keep sort of maybe something that's not an easily quantified thing. Thank you, Madam Chair.
