I would certainly hope that we would view the nursing fraternity, as we view all other professionals, as an important service and professional institution in our communities. I am not aware of that. I think there is some concern in respect to comparative jobs. I already offered up yesterday, or the day before, during the conversation I had with some of the local nurses, an opportunity for them to talk directly to me. I would say again today, that I am perfectly willing to do that and sit down and try to get a better understanding of what their position is and see if we can act accordingly. The position of the government is and has been, as long as I can remember, nurses are a very, very, very important component to our health care system and certainly stand in the professional area like teachers, lawyers and everybody else. Thank you.
