Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have written questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Honourable Michael Miltenberger, regarding housing for health care professionals.
- What is the number of health care professionals per community, currently in need of affordable accommodations?
- What is the number of social workers and health care professionals per community, who have not accepted work in small communities because of the lack of affordable housing?
- What is the number of health care professionals that currently rent government-owned units and what are the rates of the rent that they pay?
- Please provide details about what other jurisdictions in Canada provide housing for nurses and other health care professionals in remote communities.
Thank you.
