Mr. Speaker, I do support this motion because, at this time, we are having difficult times to retain and to hire nurses and other medical professionals in small communities. This motion is good. It will help meet the needs and to support the nurses and other professionals, other health professionals, to help these nurses and health professionals who wants to make -- who wants to live in the small communities, make small communities or make NWT their home. So I do support this motion. Hopefully it will help alleviate lots of problems that -- the challenges that we are facing and I'm sure the nurses are facing as well, you know, it's -- in small communities. I'm worried about the small communities because if we don't have any nurses in small communities, we're going to conform to having more agency nurses. And I think this motion is really going to help the nurses meet their needs. Thank you.
