Thank you. On that, as I stated earlier, Madam Chair, we really need to review how we are seeing these nurses through the process because everyone is involved. I mean we have expectations on the part of the students that are being trained to be nurses and waiting to get into the employment market. I think they have certain expectations about where they want to take their career and what kind of work they want to do. Then when they get into the workplace, they expect to have a lot of support I think. So it's known when I graduated from law school I had to have a lot of training and work under experienced lawyers to make sure you learned what you need to know and also to prevent you from getting into mistakes, huge mistakes. I think it's essential that we use whatever we can to provide these new nurses to have the support they need, but what I also see is that mentors are burnt out and I think I heard the Minister say that the allocation for the mentors is $10,000, whereas there's about $1 million for the new nurses. You know, all the nurses that I talked to are overworked and they have to do a lot of overtime, they can't always take the time off for holidays, it just seems that there's more and more being expected of them.

I just think we need to say that we're doing all these things, but we're just not paying enough attention to how they play out on the ground. I think when I hear concerns from the nurses entering the market and the nurses who have been there for 20 years, I think that the issues may be systemic and I would like to know if the Minister could undertake to review how we are using this R and R resource and have somebody look at it and see if there's any way to do this better, because I just don't think we're meeting the end result of what we do with our educated nurses and then trying to keep them reasonably satisfied about the career choices they've made and the working conditions that they have to go through everyday. Could I get the Minister to undertake that? I don't know how he can do it. I guess I could leave it to him to decide how he's going to do it, but this is very important.
