Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the table that the Member refers to indicates the number of placement sites that are available in the Northwest Territories. What we are doing to increase the number of sites is through the Maximizing Northern Employment Initiative, looking at ways to becoming a nurse mentor more attractive by increasing the financial compensation that is provided to nurse mentors. Also we are working closely with the Northwest Territories Registered Nurses Association who are providing us with advice as to how make nurse mentorship work better and be more attractive both for the mentor and for the new graduate nurse.

So it is being done in a collaborative way with the professional organization and with the boards themselves. And, of course, as recruitment and retention issues stabilize in a board then they do find themselves in a better position to be able to offer these opportunities to our new graduate nurses. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
