Interview With Nova Scotia's New Deputy Minister and CEO of the Healthcare Professionals Recruitment Office
This week on the new episode of TELILE 24/7, host Adam Cooke and the crew at Telile Community Television tackle a wide variety of topics, ranging from health care and long-term care to the costs involved in policing and enforcing the law.
At 2:24, Richmond County municipal councillors agree to contact the federal government to seek financial support in the wake of a new bargaining agreement between Ottawa and the National Police Federation that will see RCMP officials receive a pay increase of 23.7 percent over six years, retroactive to 2017, as opposed to the 2.5 per cent increase that was originally projected.
We stay with law enforcement at 11:13, as council agrees to look at the cost of either purchasing or renting speed radar signs to curtail speeding in such communities as Louisdale and Arichat.
Our feature interview begins at 17:30, as we welcome Dr. Kevin Orrell to the program. The veteran physician is the new Deputy Minister and CEO of Nova Scotia's recently-formed Healthcare Professionals Recruitment Office, and he is hopeful that a change in strategy from previous years will attract more doctors, nurses and paramedics to the province.
At 37:48, Richmond councillors weigh in on a planned "Day of Awareness" for long-term-care facility workers represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). With a province-wide information picket planned for November 30 that includes pop-up protests in St. Peter's in Arichat, Warden Amanda Mombourquette and District 1 Councillor Shawn Samson are offering sympathy and support to the CUPE members involved in these activities.
And we wrap things up at 40:10 with a look at a new Richmond County housing survey, which will be carried out by the Cape Breton Partnership at the request of the municipality. This effort will be similar to surveys conducted in recent months by the Cape Breton Partnership in Port Hawkesbury, Inverness County, and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
