Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the much talked about recruitment and retention of Health and Social Service professionals, tabled document 57-13(5) tabled February 24, 1998, in my hand today, that Mr. Ng. and his colleagues across the House seem to have indicated was such a great thing. Maybe some of them should spend some time to read it. Mr. Speaker, this document was tabled ten months ago because of the severe and serious nature of our medical professional shortage and retention, as mentioned. Mr. Speaker, what support to the Nunavut Nursing Program was offered when that program collapsed, when we looked at this ten month thing was tabled? What did the department do to support the Nunavut Nursing Program when it collapsed even though this tabled document from ten months ago, specifically outlined training as essential to retaining and having a northern medical workforce? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
