I am not familiar of how long contracts are, if they're -- you know, I mean, in the past, you know, the only time I've ever seen a short enough contract in my time working in the health authority was within, you know, maybe over Christmas so that we didn't have to shut down services so maybe a two or three-week contract. But, you know, as the -- as it is now, we are struggling with staffing. And whether Members in this House or anywhere, you know, we don't know exactly how long this is going to be throughout Canada. We don't know. And, you know, this is priority -- this is priority not just for me, it is a priority for Canada. It's a priority that we are going to be discussing at the next health Ministers' meeting because it is an issue. It is an issue across Canada. We are struggling to find and retain health care providers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
