Mr. Chair, that’s all I have.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the Minister said we have nine that are funded by THSSI funding. I thought we had nine in total. So I’d appreciate clarification on how many NPs we have. But of these nine NPs who are funded through THSSI funding, what is the Minister doing to ensure that when THSSI funding runs out, I think in a year, that we will be able to continue these nine nurse practitioners within our system? Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Dolynny, anything further? Thanks, Mr. Dolynny. We are on page 3-17, Human Resources, activity summary, operations expenditure summary, $6.774 million. Are we agreed?

Thank you, committee. Page 3-38, Human Resources, information item, labour relations, active positions. Any questions?

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Mr. Abernethy.

Thanks to the Minister. My next question I was going to ask him was whether FMB had given any consideration to changing the policy and, obviously, they have not if it hasn’t gone to them already. So I need to ask the Minister if last June, that’s over six months ago, almost eight months ago now, if last June the Minister was promising us a plan to deal with this lack of flexibility, why has it taken this long to get to a point of no solution. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, committee. Page 3-34, Human Resources, information item, regional operations, active positions. Any questions?
