Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. Hiring agency nursing, Mr. Speaker, may help with the short-term pressures, but the question is, do we have the right staff levels there in the first place? Fixing the Public Service Act constantly gets raised about finding solutions. I say it's time we be innovative and lead Canada rather than someone else coming up with a solution. Let's find a made-in-the-north solution that recognizes seniorities. Sometimes we need to put the rules aside and look for solutions.

Mr. Speaker, I have to tell you a flag has been raised at that hospital. It's not a crisis flag, but it's the white flag of stressed workers, Mr. Speaker. Areas such as OB, X-ray, lab, just to name a few, and I don't have the time to list them all today, but people are being overworked.

In closing, Mr. Speaker, our senior staff are there to help us, but if they're leaving, where is our mentorship and our experience? If patient safety is priority number one, then we need to make sure that our health care workers are provided the best and most supportive work environment we can. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
