That's virtually all we have, our beautiful countryside and our quality of life. We're all in the same boat. We train people in Prince Edward Island, and, in spite of everything, some nurses choose to move to Alberta. The current lack of mobility among the population also affects us a great deal.
Right now we're trying to work together with an immigration coop, which could perhaps help us fill a few positions in the health field, but we have the same problem as all the Maritime provinces. That problem is even more serious in Prince Edward Island because it is doubly difficult to live there in French.
As Ms. Gilman mentioned, we have a plan to remedy the labour retention problem and to establish a Francophone presence in all the health institutions of Prince Edward Island, if only by filling three-quarters of the positions. But staffing those positions requires funding, and we don't have it.
