Staffing levels with paramedics remain a challenge according to Deputy Health Minister Tom Maston.
Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald argues bilingual requirements are making it more difficult to keep paramedics but Maston argues language can be a matter of life and death in an emergency medical situation.
MacDonald maintains full-time language training should be made available in spite of the staffing challenges and paramedics should not have to learn a second language in their spare time.
