Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. Coming into the month of March, we had about 130 employees still on staff with the COVID Secretariat and as the Minister indicated, their employment contracts were timed to end with the end of the public health emergency. So there was about a dozen or so employees that have ended already when the isolation centre, the requirement to isolate following travel, ended and we shut down the isolation centres. The majority of the rest of those employees have employment contracts that end on March 31st. About a quarter of the employees that are hired on casual contracts that would end March 31st, about half of those 130 employees are actually term contracts. So those, both casuals and terms, they would be employees new to the GNWT and generally, they would be -- you know, they don't have another department to go back to. About a quarter, then, of those 130 employees are on transfer assignment from another department and we are working with those other departments to ensure that they have a, you know, properly -- proper landing spot for when their employment ends with COVID Secretariat and they go back to work with their home department. Thank you, Madam Chair.
