Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, there has been a certain degree of success with some of those programs that the Minister has referred to, but he has confirmed that we still do have a nursing shortage in the Northwest Territories. I noticed when I was flying to Edmonton the other day, the Up Here magazine has an article called "Northern Outpost Nurses - Choose Your Adventure," and there's quite an extensive ad here trying to recruit nurses to join a venture healthcare program to go to northern outposts. I'm sure that it's similar to the agency nurses that we hire. How aggressive are we being in terms of advertising and trying to attract nurses to the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
