Absolutely, and thank you for the question. The Canada loan forgiveness program already exists for nurses and doctors and professions like that. What we hear all the time, which is so tragic when we're trying....
We know that, first of all, continuity of care is so important. People need to be familiar with their communities and to stay in their communities and have excellent care. Second of all, the best people positioned to provide the best care for the community are those from the community, from within the community. We hear all the time that there are people who want to go home to first nations communities, or want to go home to rural and remote locations, and it just doesn't make financial sense for them. This is on top of how expensive things are in the north, their student loans, and the fact that they have to get out there and they have to buy their container of food and ship it out. It's just not feasible for them when they can get paid more to live in the city.
If we can do any small thing to just incentivize people to be able to go home a lot of the time, it would make a huge difference. This is something that is really close to the hearts of our membership base, so we would love to see it happen.
