Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am told that this motion would be in order on this page, although I thought we were going to do it when we talked about out-of-territories hospitals on the next page. As the Minister and Members will be aware, the Standing Committee on Social Programs examined the issue of the nurses that work on behalf of the Northwest Territories for Capital Health in Edmonton. While we know and have been told that they provide excellent services on behalf of northern residents, we were of the opinion that it was worth taking a look at whether or not they should be direct employees of this government to ensure that they were looking out not just for the patients, but also the interests of the government. To that end, I would like to present a motion on behalf of the committee.
