As a lasting legacy to his fellow Quebecers, the new federal health minister should strongly encourage the Ministry of Health to sign the agreement to allow patients to receive care outside of the province.

Premier Tim Houston read a statement in the legislature Thursday in which he said nursing graduates from universities and colleges in Nova Scotia will have a "standing offer'' to work in the province.

The college says the move was made under legislation that allows it to issue such orders where there is evidence to support that patients would otherwise be exposed to risk of harm or injury.

The provincial government is threatening to suspend unvaccinated health network staff without pay as of Nov. 15, but Premier Francois Legault raised the possibility this week of postponing the deadline.
