The shortage is in a crisis situation. In 2005-06, a report was given on the HHR pan-Canadian strategy. But we have to realize that CIHI counts a nurse like me and a doctor like Dr. Bennett, and we haven't touched a patient in a while. That doesn't help in the numbers.
Just in the city of Winnipeg, there are today 870 vacancies in nursing positions. In Edmonton and Calgary, it's 2,000 vacancies. We spend 18 million hours of overtime per year. That's equal to 10,000 full-time jobs in nursing. So there is a crisis.
