Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Very clearly across the North, including Yellowknife, there is a recognition that we need a competitive pay and benefits package. The reality is that we are having difficulty staffing critical positions like nurses and doctors. One of the issues involved with that is pay and benefits.
I am very clearly aware of that. I have spent the last year travelling across the North. That point has been reinforced to me in every community that I have been in so the answer is yes, Mr. Speaker.
