Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a question for the Minister in terms of on program delivery support in terms of the amount of money that the Government of the Northwest Territories spends and has spent in the past on the professional development and recruitment and retention of frontline health care workers. The professional development I don't necessarily have an issue with. I think that's money well spent and I think the more that we have, the better. What I have issue with is the money that we're spending on the recruitment and retention because, as I mentioned to the Minister last week, I don't really see evidence of there being much success in that area. We continue to bring in locum nurses from the south, agency nurses. They work alongside of nurses in our health care system and earn more in benefits and rate of pay than the nurses that we have here on the ground. Something about that is not quite right, if you ask me, Madam Chair. I'd like to ask the Minister, what type of benchmarks or performance measurement indicators does he and his department have that would lend itself to justify the amount of money we're spending? If we just keep spending money year after year and we're not making any progress, then one would have to question what we're doing. Is something in his system, in his department, broken and in need of repair? For example, in 2004-2005 this government spent about $4 million in this area and I'm not sure why. I guess that's another question the Minister could answer, but why has that number been cut in half to $2 million? What are we
getting and how do we measure the success of this expenditure? Thank you.
