Mr. Speaker, I thank my wonderful colleague from Fredericton for the excellent work that she does. I also want to thank all nurses. It is very important to acknowledge the work that they do during National Nursing Week and during every week of the year. I also want to acknowledge Linda Silas, the president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, and her entire team. I thank them for giving me the opportunity to speak with them just a few days ago. I must also mention that on top of thanking nurses, we need to support the work that they do. That is why we are creating a new position of chief nursing officer, a position that the former Conservative government unfortunately abolished, and are increasing the amount of student loan forgiveness for nurses in rural areas by 50%.
