I can at least partially answer the
question. The THAF funding, in particular, is going to be used to allow nurse practitioners in the Territories to engage in the PLAR program, which is the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition program. What that will do is identify existing community health nurses who are partway toward achieving nurse practitioner status and then tell us what we would have to invest to get them up to full nurse practitioner status so they can continue in existing jobs or move into jobs that can be re-profiled from community health nurse to nurse practitioner jobs.
