Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. I’ll go to Minister Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would be interested in knowing if that $1 million went directly to the agency, or if it actually included the wages that were paid to these nurses. That would be an interesting thing to find out. I think that $1 million probably went directly to the agency. I would like to finally ask the Minister, does he see a correlation between the amalgamation of human resources and the inability in his health care system to get nurses on the ground and working here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. We’ll go to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Minister Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. It gets back to my Member’s statement earlier today where I questioned how the Government of the Northwest Territories is recruiting nurses to work specifically at Stanton hospital. How many locum nurses is the territory bringing in to work in our hospitals? The second part to that question is, at what cost, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
