Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think one of the pieces of good news is that this coming May, we are going to get our first class of graduating nurses with a four-year degree and we expect to have between 20 and 24 northern nurses trained at the bachelor level that are going to be ready to go to work in the Northwest Territories.

In terms of being able to be competitive, we are also looking at working with the nurses, and I have had discussions with the Minister responsible for the public service about ways we can better recognize the burden of smaller communities and the costs in more remote and isolated areas that may not be as adequately covered right now. Similar to what the federal government has done with their isolated post allowance, surely we have issues with the small and northern communities and we are stuck in a cycle of dependency with agency nurses which we are very interested in working hard to break. Thank you.
