Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I alluded to earlier, part of the problem is having physicians for one-man operations is having that lack of support from a peer. The other problem is the fact that we're the Northwest Territories and we have a lot of smaller communities. It's no problem in some of the larger centres, like Yellowknife and Hay River. Even now, there's recognition that there may be some problems in that some of the longer-term positions are moving on, and the possibility of getting longer-term commitments from other physicians may be a problem. So we're competing with a lot of southern jurisdictions, competing with other countries, in some cases. So it's an historical problem that we have and we continue to recognize. Thank you.
