Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, with the second -- or the -- sorry, with the third bullet, the education leave to help Indigenous employees to finish any education. Sometimes we have Indigenous employees that get into frontline positions, they may have, you know, some education, and then when they apply to -- for educational -- education leave, they're denied because they say well, you're already in this job and you don't need any more education to do the job. And then education leave is denied. And so some -- and so, and then when we look at the next one, we have people that are in frontline jobs who maybe say if they start off as an office admin, and they want to -- you know, they want to move up in their career so they want to go back and get their business diploma, and then they want to go back and get their business degree, you know, as they come back, but they should have secure employment to go back to at least what they left. So that way they have the opportunity for succession planning within the department that they're starting in. This is a way we can grow our Indigenous, you know, staff, especially out in the regions. So, like, that's what this recommendation is indicating. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
