Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what we've done in the Northwest Territories is to allow for immediate hiring of the graduating nurses, and they would only be able to operate under a temporary licence until they get their full licence, and that usually takes about three months. It's that interim period that it's 90 percent. Once they receive their full licence and are then able to operate in one of our hospitals without supervision, then it goes up to the 100 percent salary. So we've gone one step further, I believe, than other jurisdictions, and that's make the graduating class available for immediate hire. That's why it's stepped at that location.
When it comes to the difference between diploma and baccalaureate nursing in the field, to get your licence both groups have to write the same exam and that's why it's treated that way. Thank you.
