A motion is on the floor to report progress. The motion is in order and is non-debatable. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

I will now rise and report progress. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I know it states that there's no end date for the employment, but can the Premier assure us that these positions will be ongoing for, maybe, say, the next 10 years, for example, or any sort of timeframe? I just wouldn't want this important resource to the communities to end in the next couple of years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
