Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the
issues we’re aware of is that many of the nurses who entered the Aurora College program are entering that program with a requirement to upgrade themselves to be able to participate in the nursing program. Also, many of those people are coming from communities outside of Yellowknife. The key fact we’re getting is that they’re having difficulty being away from their home or with child care or family responsibilities. Also, the requirement to upgrade and be able to participate fully in the nursing program is a difficult one for a lot of the people who have enrolled. That’s the reason for declining enrolment.
