Thank you, Madam Chair. You may recall that our current recruitment health human resource strategy expired in this last March of 31st in 2024. We are in the process of creating what we call a people strategy. It is due to be delivered for June of 2025. This will include strategies, activities, related to recruitment and retention. So, for example, the health authorities are doing what we call exit and entry surveys. So using that information to be able to inform that strategy. They're completing quarterly reviews of current positions, how those positions are budgeted as an example. They're looking at pieces around providing guidelines for staff, looking at bursary programs, looking at opportunities to bring our youth into health and social services, and then, of course, looking at enhancing what we would consider to be our attraction and recruitment strategy. So you may recall that we had a friends and family travel program, looking to continue that work. We had a referral program whereby folks who in the GNWT referred anybody into our system, looking at encouraging those strategies to continue as well. So those are just a few examples of the items that we will continue to work on to help recruit and also retain our existing workforce.
