Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister advising that there are a number of issues on the table for consideration during these negotiations. But I do happen to know that there are clinics advertising for doctors in the north right now and some have advertised for a considerable amount of time, months in fact, without receiving any applications from Canadian doctors willing to locate up north. I think that, in order to ensure that we have good medical practitioners in the north, we have to make the climate attractive. I would like to ask the Minister will she, in fact, direct her officials to examine the relationship between our fee for service schedule and the ability to attract general practitioners to the north?
