I learned that there are 750 vacant nursing positions in that province. Ninety per cent of nurses experience burnout, and 85% believe that understaffing is creating unsafe conditions for patients. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7754963\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nurses called on the government to include an emergency retention fund in this year's budget, but no help was delivered. When will the Liberals finally provide this crucial support for Canada's nurses?</p>",

Quatre-vingt-dix pour cent des infirmiers font face \u00e0 l'\u00e9puisement professionnel, et 85 % d'entre eux estiment que l'insuffisance des effectifs cr\u00e9e des conditions dangereuses pour les patients.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7754963\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les infirmiers ont demand\u00e9 au gouvernement d'inclure dans le budget de cette ann\u00e9e un fonds d'urgence pour le maintien en poste, mais cette demande a \u00e9t\u00e9 ignor\u00e9e.
