Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to think that the Northwest Territories is a very progressive jurisdiction as is the Stanton a very progressive hospital, but it is also my understanding that Newfoundland and P.E.I., as well, pay nurses in this similar way. Every other jurisdiction, in one way or another, recognizes that a nurse is not a nurse; that there are different levels. There are higher skill requirements in some areas. In the work that we did here as a government, no nurses' salaries went down, but there was a recognition, clearly, that there are some higher levels of skill requirements. Thank you.
