Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are undertaking a number of initiatives, both broader ones and more immediate ones. Recruitment and retention has been identified by all the authorities as well as the department as the number one priority.

We are working to access a nurse locum pool. All of the authorities in the department agree that we have to work more effectively together in terms of recruiting nurses and retaining them.

We are working right now in the action plan and with the task groups to see in fact how we can do that more effectively. We have engaged in conversations and the involvement of the nursing association, as well as the doctors. We hope to be making some progress here.

We are also having a whole number -- dozens, I believe it is almost 70 nursing students -- who are currently in the system and we are looking at making all of the necessary arrangements to make sure that they stay in the North and fill these critical positions. So we have a number of initiatives underway. Thank you.
