Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The second part of Mr. Krutko's question or the second question is how can we access some nurses when we have short-term shortages when there are retention problems and we need to fill in on an temporary basis.
First of all, the nurses work for the health boards. So the nurses in question would be the employees of the Inuvik Regional Health and Social Services Board, but there are contracting companies and agencies that nurses can be hired through on a contract basis. That is one area which alleviates the shortage.
Those are short-term solutions and it really is the goal of the department and the boards to find long-term solutions to the recruitment and retention challenges. Certainly, this is not a problem that is specific to the Northwest Territories. As we meet with health Ministers across the country, we find out that this health care professionals shortage is something which is nation wide. Thank you.
