Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm quite excited for these set of questions because, you know, it just really changes the way that I want to see housing provide their programming and moving us more into a social program as well too. And I just want to go back to the community initiative funding program that was created in the last government by the Premier, that this has become very creative and a number of communities have actually wanted a position similar to what the Member has been describing. So I just wanted to comment on that.
And the other is the trades as well too. We've worked in some of the communities where we've had summer students and casual employees come up and see them through the apprenticeship programming. And we do fund, at the headquarters level, 12 positions, but then also the LHOs do receive funding within their budget as well. But it's really challenging to find the commitment. The commitment and to keep the positions.
The other thing I just want to quickly comment on -- I'm just going to cautious of the time as well -- is that we build these into our contracts as well too, to making sure that we do get the community members experienced on site and as these builds are being rolled out that they do gain employment. Thank you, Madam Chair.
