Mr. Pat Healy:

We have a situation, as I talked about earlier, whereby there is a mismatch between our recruitment and expanding the number of people we train and the demand that we have. Of our trainees, about half of those we train are needed for replacements in the system. We have a situation where significant overtime is worked in order to fill our rosters. At the end of 2024 and into this year, with the agreement of the CEO and the support of the Department, I was able to secure 136 additional whole-time equivalents. We distributed them across the system. That was specifically into the system to reduce the amount of overtime that individuals are having to work, along with doing their own jobs. That was an important initiative we took this year to try to deal with that.
