Mr. Chair, at my constituency meeting, when we talked about nurses graduating from Aurora College, I was subjected to the same comments that all of them were going south because they weren’t being offered appropriate jobs within the health care system. When I checked into it, I found out there were maybe two or three that hadn’t accepted jobs within the NWT, and two or three were going south for different reasons.
As to the number of agency nurses, there used to be 13 or 14 on an average day, and now there are maybe three or four coming in from the south.
