Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Ng. A year ago, the health boards took over responsibilities for their staff for the recruitment and paying of them. At the same time, their wages along with all government employees at that time were rolled back in an effort to help out the deficit reduction plan. My question to the Minister is, did the department have any consideration at that time that the potential of cut backs would have the detrimental affect that it has had on the recruitment of staff and retention of staff? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
