Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are quite a number of categories under program delivery under recruitment and retention. I will just highlight some of them. There is a recruitment and retention steering committee that represents the department, boards, medical association, nurses association. There is a recruitment and retention unit within the department. There is a northern development program, which has programs such as a step bursary program. There are also career bursaries available. There is a professional development fund. There is funding for the recruitment of general practitioners, locum and long-term. There is a rural physician locum program. There is an advanced nursing skills education program. Temporary market supplement for nurses. There are nurse educator consultants. There are workshops that have been sponsored under this funding for workplace safety, health and well-being, and there is a website we have developed for recruitment. There is a foreign nursing recruitment program, which the Member has referred to. These are some of the categories that fall under our program for recruitment and retention. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
