Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the work to implement the Indigenous Recruitment and Retention Framework has already begun. That work was underway, as the House might recall in the course of business plans, departments were already going through the motions of setting targets for themselves and that, of course, being tied now to the performance evaluations of senior management.
Mr. Speaker, I can say that in the last year, one important positive result that we do think has come from this renewed attention and the renewed efforts within human resources is that since its launch in 2018, the Indigenous Career Gateway Program was never fully utilized until now. It is now fully utilized, on top of which, Mr. Speaker, an additional 12 Indigenous people were hired through the processes that are established without there even being the additional funding. So it's not only oversubscribed; it's actually seeing even greater benefits. And Mr. Speaker, I do think that's because of the kind of attention that is being seen on this issue by this Assembly, by this government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
