Ms. Worsfold, in Quebec, the pandemic accelerated the desertion of nurses, with some even leaving the profession. This is likely due to the fact that we still have a long way to go to ensure the recognition and professionalization of nursing, which plays a vital role.
Do you agree with me that this recognition and professionalization is first achieved through better working conditions? Let's take the example of what we've done for personal support workers, giving them a significant salary increase to go and get that expertise and not lose it.
If we lose this expertise, we'll lose a lot more; it's not enough to simply go out and get what we need with money to get new resources.
