Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I had an opportunity to speak to the nurses that staged a walk-out two weeks ago in Iqaluit, Mr. Barnabas was also present, I believe. The Deputy Premier spoke to them. One of the complaints that they had was about the contract nurses and that is where we do not have nurses working for the government, but we bring them in on a contract. There are occasions where these nurses receive a higher salary base than the nurses actually in place who have made a commitment to the north. I am wondering is that something that the Minister's department is reviewing? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
