Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated before, we do have practicums and we do have mentorships. If we were going to extend the mentorship, the working one-on-one... it is a little different once you get out into the community. In fact, in the mentorship program, the experienced nurse goes right to the community with the graduate and works with them side-by-side for several months.

If the Member is suggesting that we extend that mentorship program to get that unique experience, what I can do is undertake to find out what that would cost. Right now, the cost of the mentorship program is fairly significant. Of course, our challenge is finding nurses, senior nurses, to be involved in the mentorship program.

What happens is they leave other positions in which we may need them. Backfilling always creates a challenge as well. I could prepare an indication of what the mentorship costs and what it would cost to expand it for the Member. Thank you.
