Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my statement today I talked about this being nurses week and I'd like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services if he could provide this House with an update on our ability, as a government, to fill nursing positions in the North right now. In the past, we had been struggling to ensure that vacant positions were filled. We've used a lot of agency nurses in the communities, locums and at a probably greater cost than it would cost our government if we could have nurses come here, be recruited, retain them. I'd like to ask the Minister what is the status of the nursing shortage in the Northwest Territories today? Thank you.
