Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, our department has quite a number of initiatives that speak to retention and recruitment. I believe what the Member is referring to would fall under that category.
All health boards hire students during the summer. Although the government and the department is not the direct employer, we do encourage the health boards to hire summer students. We assist the students in health-related fields to find work during the summer, either with the department or with the boards. We are very aware of the need of many of the students to work during the summer and we do everything we can to facilitate that. Thank you.
