Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as issues arise with our human resources side of government we have to look at all factors, no matter the small amount of people that would raise concerns. We have to look into them to ensure we are doing what we can to try to deal with those. Obviously as we do some changes for one group it affects another group and that can raise issues on its own. We are doing a better job, I believe, when we look at most of our facilities. When we do a comparison across Canada with our health facilities, the shortage of nurses is still a thing that affects all jurisdictions. As I've stated earlier, we have now focused a unit within Human Resources and dealing with hiring of new nurses to bring them north. We have also, Mr. Speaker, created a float pool of nurses that helps us deal with the filling in of nurses who would either go on holidays or take time off. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
