Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in answers to questions from other honourable Members of this House, we do recognize there is an issue in recruitment and retention of nursing professional staff. We are in the process of working with our partners and our boards, on the short-term and identifying where the deficiencies are and how we can shore up those services so there is minimal impact to the communities. On a longer term, there is a recruitment and retention plan that has been finalized for Financial Management Board submission now to try to dedicate some resources for a medium to longer scale plan in trying to promote northerners to enter into that profession. We feel in the long term that is where the sustainability of the nursing profession can come from, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
