I have two brief questions. The last time training camps were held was in 2019. I guess they were probably not held this year or last because of Covid-19 but perhaps I am wrong. Mr. Gargan might be able to give us an outline of the last training camps in terms of how many people attended, how they went and so on.

Is it still the case that members of the public service can take time off to take part in training in summer camps or other training camps as was the case years ago? When I was there it was the case that one could take two weeks off. In some cases, some of that time off was paid as well but not all of it. Mr. Gargan might give us an update on that.
