Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of National Nursing Week, May 9-15, 1994.
The theme this year, "Nurses Make the Difference", catches the essence of the great contribution that this profession makes to the health care of all Canadians.
Since the time of the first nurse in Canada, Jeanne Mance, nurses have remained the keystone of the Canadian health care system.
I commend all nurses in Canada for their high levels of commitment, skill, dedication and caring service to our people.
