Thank you, Madam Chair. I have just a couple points to add. When the program and the guarantee was made by government to hire all the nurse graduates from the Aurora program, the government gave us funding to carry those positions as extras, as supernumerary, in the various facilities while they are doing the training, and the preceptorship and the mentoring part of it. That changes, depending upon the skill set of that individual. Some take longer periods. Some may be right out the door and ready to go. The authorities don't have to carry them as well as a regular complement. What happens is they will be hired into permanent jobs over that year once they have had their extra training in the preceptorship and all that process is carried on.

There are also mentorship programs for those individuals within Stanton and the other hospitals. So there is a mentor, a senior person, who works with them, and where their individual issues may be, that they have to spend more time on. Then, because the Member mentioned this last night briefly when we were here before committee, I did talk to Stanton this morning. They assured me that they would take all 24 graduates if we let them as a system, because they know, over the year, there will be additional turnovers. They also know they have to work and cooperate with the other authorities like Inuvik and Deh Cho. If some of these graduates are willing to go to the small communities, work with us to mentor them into those jobs, as well. As a broad issue, I haven't heard of that kind of a bottleneck.
