Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it's always our intent to have, when we have vacancies to get them filled for several reasons, because it puts extra stress on some of the other staff that's having to do the job. And so, I mean, it is something that we're looking at. I do want to give Mr. Brennan an opportunity to just speak specifically about what's going on in the Member's area. Thanks.

Statements in the House
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Connie to my right is still here but to my left I have my assistant deputy minister Gary Brennan for regional operations. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, at this time we're not getting notifications as to this situation. Perhaps -- I hope we don't because, I mean, it does take a lot of time to get -- to get everybody on board with this. And, you know, if we get everyone on board and then we get notification, that's a lot of work and a lot of time, a lot of money that's being put into getting everybody on board. So, you know, my hope is that this doesn't happen. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. So the Education, Culture and Employment is planning deployment in 2023, so within this year, for four more divisions. We will work with them to see what additional supports that they may need to perhaps add on some of the other divisions.
As I mentioned, Health and Social Services has two divisions that could go forward but we'll need to see how else we can support them in migrating other -- into other units to be able to get this all transferred.
I'm not aware that -- the Member mentioned that perhaps some of the -- the whole of Education, Culture and Employment can't get in within DIIMS. I'm not aware of that. But, I mean, we as a Department of Infrastructure will provide supports to the departments to ensure that if they need -- if they need any help going forward that we support that. End of the day, that's what we want, is everyone to be on DIIMS. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we have almost everybody. We're not quite there yet. We still have colleagues and friends over at Education, Culture and Employment as well as Health and Social Services. So I mean, we are getting there. We are working in different parts. We've been piloting a little part of one of the departments in health to see how that works. But, I mean, that is the intent to get everybody into one system and I thank the Member for, you know, his question because I think that's important information to get out there. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to ask Ms. Lee to speak to that.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to ask Ms. St. Denis to speak to the line item. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this is -- this is something that we'd have to look at to see if it fits within the program. I really respect the Member's, you know, bringing forward some of these ideas and that is something we can look at as well. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I hope you're not sure. Just kidding. Yes, that is where this area lies. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to ask Ms. St. Denis to speak to a little bit more about that. Thanks.
