Thank you, Madam Chair. In the last couple of years, arguably the aspect of health delivery that has plagued our system the most and all the rest of Canada is the shortage of skilled professionals, doctors, nurses and allied health care professionals. Madam Chair, of late, it seems to have been less of an issue, at least in my telephone and my e-mail and I think less in the media too, but I guess I don't want to take that as a signal that we're over this problem. It's been described as a long-term issue for all of Canada, training up and recruiting more nurses and doctors. I'm wondering if the Minister or Mr. Murray could give us a bit of a snapshot. How are we doing? Are we managing to settle down on this persistent shortage of professionals ready to live and work in the NWT? Madam Chair.
