Thank you, Madam Chair. One aspect related to this that I have some experience with in a couple of constituency situations is that, in the Nursing
Program, while we have worked hard to build up the capacity through Aurora College to give nursing students the basics, there is also a professional requirement that when they go into the workforce, there is the capacity in our hospitals and our clinics to guide them through various aspects of their training. If I understand it correctly, this is what is called preceptorship. It has become at least a perception that I have, Madam Chair, is that we have a bit of a bottleneck or maybe a major bottleneck in our system in that we do not have enough professionals or activity going on in our hospitals to be able to take the number of graduates and put them to work in our own hospitals. One constituent of mine has found that she has had to leave the NWT because, while she was trained up here, there was just not the capacity or the wherewithal to put her to work here.
Is that a correct perception of how we are doing in this particular area? Do we have a bottleneck in our hospitals and clinics in terms of bringing our nurse trainees onto staff and into the workforce, Madam Chair?
