Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt it is recognized that, you know, the removal of the vacation travel assistance and the housing benefits has had an impact on all our employees throughout the government, nurses as well. I think that what is important to recognize is that some of the non-financial supports are outlined, as I have outlined today, in our recruitment and retention plan that will go a long ways towards assisting the health care professions. I think in the long run, some of the collective agreement process, hopefully, will alleviate some of the pressure in the long term. It is an issue that we are going to have to continue to keep on top of and continue to be promoting and working towards improving, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
