Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think the answer is yes; it's how that is really the question here. Just recently the 2023 version of the Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey results have come back. I've had a chance to look at my own department's, Mr. Speaker. I often do look at other departments, including, in particular, Health and Social Services and the health authorities. I know other Ministers are doing the same. That is an important starting point. It gives us a sense on a number of indicators, including morale and training and engagement, to be able to connect some of those dots, see where our progress is, see where we're making gains, and see where we are challenged. So certainly we'll say we're going to have to start -- well, no, that is one place we're going to want to start. We are looking at -- as the Department of Finance in terms of what we're doing with our own broader recruitment and retention plans and policies and practices, including management training and including a particular management training and leadership training for Indigenous employees. So these are all areas that exist in our business plans and the work that is happening in departments, it's in the budget, this is what we do as departments, and we'll certainly want to be doing that. So, again, I'll end where I started with a yes, but the how we're going to get there is a much longer answer. Thank you.
