Yes, thank you. I think the biggest reason is, in fact the reasons that were outlined in the letter that was sent to all of us at the beginning of the month - nurses are burned out. They have had their leave cancelled and shortened, and they are at the end of their rope. We are giving them the time off that they are requesting, and this is the end result of it. We don't have enough nurses to keep the obstetrics unit open.

We pay very well. We have the second highest wages in the country. But having said that, because there have been more wages paid in the South, the gap between southern wages and northern wages has started to close. So it's no longer as lucrative for nurses to come here as it might have been, even a couple of years ago.

We have very limited levers to do anything about that for reasons that some people have already discussed. The nurses are part of the UNW, and the UNW settled its collective agreement this spring for two years and provided everybody with an increase but not with a special amount of money for nurses.

So where we're at is we're in this highly competitive environment to attract nurses here. We have good wages but they are not as good as they once were in comparison to other jurisdictions. And of course we also have a high cost of living. So we're in a very challenging situation to bring on full-time staff. Thank you.
