Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 152)

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I realize the health care system is stretched and that health care professionals are in short supply, including doctors and registered nurses. Can the Minister update this House in its efforts to attract health care professionals to the North? Mahsi.

Question 1490-19(2): Small Health Centre Diagnosis Concerns
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 152)

So anything there may have been grandfathered. The tax was set up to well, supposedly to penalize the large emitters, large industries. But what we've seen since, from that time, that's not what was actually happening because we got some numbers back from our research in our committee meetings that the large emitters were getting 72 percent of their dollars back and that kind of, like, defeats the whole purpose of...
