Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member refers to studies that indicate we are focussing too much on recruitment and not enough on retention. Studies? I am not sure which study the Member is specifically referring to, but I am pleased to report that the department currently spends about $1 million annually on programs to support students who are studying to enter health and social service professions and employees who are wishing to study in an area of value to the health and social services system. We are currently spending $1 million to enhance the capabilities of health care and social services professionals. I believe this goes some way towards ensuring that we retain these employees in our system. Thank you.
