Thank you, Ms. Meade. Ms. Bisaro.

Do we have an audiologist position and is that filled at this time? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. I’ve received conflicting information on funding for the Introduction to Advanced Nursing Practice Program at Aurora College. My question is for the Minister of ECE.

It is my understanding that the Department of Health and Social Services contributes support directly to this program, as well as indirectly through coverage of student tuition fees, and that ECE and the federal government may also be contributors, but obviously this needs clarification. I ask the Minister: what is the current and planned status of funding from these partners for this program?

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Ms. Meade.

Thank you, Page 8-19, Health and Social Services, information item, program delivery support. Agreed?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Lee.

Just, I guess, leave it as a comment that the presentations we’ve had it sounds like a lot of it should be fairly straightforward and perhaps to some degree there’s parts of it being implemented already. The technology is as simple as a phone or cell phone, where we have coverage. I guess I’m looking for efficiencies here. I like the model. I’m looking for complexity, but it seems pretty straightforward to me. I’m wondering where the bottlenecks are in implementing this. I realize it’s a new model, the tires need to be kicked and so on.
