Thank you.
We are talking about a pan-Canadian health human resources institute that we would like to see established so that we see federal leadership on coordinating a response to our health human resources crisis in this country. This isn't just about nursing; this is about the right mix of health providers across the country from province to province. Health care workers are highly mobile these days, and we are seeing that we need a national approach to this whole issue, because health care workers can shift from province to province, which is just shifting the problem around. We are asking for federal leadership similar to the federal leadership we are currently seeing around H1N1 planning and implementation. We would like to see that in terms of health human resources by the setting up of an institute where we can collaboratively work together with other health professionals to work on this issue as a nation, rather than individually as provinces or individually as professionals.
