Thank you, Madam Chair. So the direction that the child and family services is going in is -- it's kind of set into seven priorities:

• To serve children, youth, families, so working collaboratively with Indigenous governments and organizations;
• Care rooted in Indigenous practices;
• Support to care providers and caregivers;
• Strengthen youth supports and transition to adulthood;
• Specialized services closer to home;
• Strengthening human resource recruitment and
• Retention efforts for an inclusive and representative workforce; and,
• Reducing administrative demands for increased opportunities to connect with families.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
