Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with respect to the honourable Member's first issue about quality of physicians' services, I think he raises a valid point. If there are problems, I would suggest that Members of the public advise their community health representatives to take it upon their behalf, to speak to the nurse in charge in the health centres. If they have to, they could bring it up through the municipal councils or through the health board representative of the community.

There is even a recognition of this problem within the medical community itself. They have a medical board of inquiry that investigates and deals with complaints about professionalism and quality issues of their members. We're working with them in trying to establish a 1-800 number to the medical board of inquiry, so that individuals throughout the Territories will have access to file any grievances that they may have about services that they receive from physicians. So that is one area that's in the works right now.

With respect to the Member's suggestion about having physicians located in every communities, I think that's a bit impractical now. We're having problems even recruiting long-term physicians in the major centres, let alone in the smaller communities, as it stands now. In talking to physicians since I became the Health Minister, part of the problem is that they're reluctant to be a sole physician within one community because they don't have the ability to receive secondary advice from another professional to make sure that the diagnosis is correct and that the action that they're proposing is correct. I think in the long term, with respect to recruitment of physicians for some of the larger regional centres to provide that support to nurse practitioners in the smaller communities, we may be able to address that problem through the future benefits of telemedicine that we're working on, in conjunction with our partners in Education and through the Financial Management Board Secretariat; freeing up, through modern technology, that capability. So the recruitment of physicians is an issue that we're fully aware of. It's one that we're going to continue to work on, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
