Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It will be good when we can get that information, if the Minister could provide that to Members because there are numbers that you were calling out that won’t match what is on the page here. If anything,
the numbers are higher than what is being announced here. Also in regards to your percentages, I think it is important in order to get the feel for the percentages. I think you have to know what the status of those individuals are. Are they janitorial positions? Are they basically administration positions or are they actually the doctors or nurses? You can break it down by groups. I would just like to know if you can also provide that so when you talk about a high percentage…But I mean, you can have a high percentage, but those could be the low paying jobs versus people on the administration/management side of the health care system. I would just like to ask the Minister if we can get that information.
I would like to ask a question before I go. There was a program in the past called Public Service Career Development Program which was very helpful to the public service by way of allowing our employees to take career courses and programs so they can enhance themselves. Has the department considered looking at something like that? I know we are looking at the area of the Nursing Program. We are getting people into that program. I think there are other areas within that structure we can look at in regards to the social service side, the mental health side, the career development side so we can deal with problems where we have a bottleneck and basically have people interested but they just don’t have that sort of vocation or the capacity. Is that something the Minister can deal with? Thank you.
