Won asks whether additional positions or funding would help OCH reach the 36,000 jobs goal. Harry says OCH would never say no to resources but is excited about digital tools reducing person-power needs.

Julie Won

Okay.

Julie Won

And do you believe that additional positions or funding can help OCH reach the goal better of 36,000 jobs created annually?

Douglas Harry

We would never say no to additional resources, but we're really excited about the progress we've been able to make to date.

Douglas Harry

And like I said, with our digital tools, we're really trying to maximize the ability for us to use, collect data digitally, which will reduce the person power to make sure that we have a good and successful program.
