Mr. Chairman, we have positions
for every NP we have in the Territories, and we’ll have more coming, whether we have positions for them. As I said earlier, we may not be able to place them exactly where they want them. It’s like any other northern grads we train. Whether we support lawyers to be trained down south, or doctors, engineers, plumbers.... We, as a government, are committed to hiring these and offering them positions. It’s just that they may not all be able to work at the hospital, or in the exact section they would like to, because you have to respect the right of the operator of the hospital to place them.
I just want to say, Mr. Chairman, there are nine vacant positions in the Territories for NPs.
