Thank you very much. I appreciate your candour.
That is correct. I think only there were about 400 aircraft that were sold last year that the tax applied to, which is over $100,000. It's also possible they might not be selling more aircraft because of the tax. We'll wait to see as more results come in.
Ms. Silas, I agree that agency nursing is a huge problem that ought to be addressed by relevant provincial governments.
I just want to make sure I get this correct. My understanding is that within a hospital environment or some other health care environment, you could have working on the same shift one of your member nurses and an agency nurse. They are making different wages. One gets to pick their shifts; the other doesn't. One contributes to the pension plan; the other doesn't and therefore the hourly rate they get is more in some circumstances.
Do I understand that right that you have a divergence of experience within the same health care environment?
