Mr. Speaker, another concern which was raised, of course, is the inability to recruit and retain nursing staff in the smaller communities. I am aware the Minster had indicated that the plan will attempt to address this. The Stanton Board has talked about the possibility of establishing a recruitment nursing pool from which nurses could be provided to the regions for certain periods of time and then come back to work in Yellowknife for a certain period of time and back to the community. Is the Minister aware of such a proposal and could he indicate what he thinks of it?
