Having practised medicine for a lot of years and having worked with a lot of nurses over those years and certainly recognizing the key pivotal role of nurses in the health care system, I will ask Mr. Guest some things about the problems facing the nursing profession. Any of us who work in medicine realize how overworked a lot of nurses are, particularly in hospitals, and how they are always being asked to work overtime and extra shifts and they have too much work to do because they're understaffed.
In your recommendation number six, you suggest that, presumably the government, should support and expand opportunities for registration and deployment of internationally educated nurses in order to provide immediate supply into the workforce as is done in provinces such as Manitoba and Ontario.
We haven't been doing this long enough to have talked to people from each of the provinces.
Mr. Guest, could you tell us what Ontario and Manitoba have done?
