Mr. Chairman, just for clarification, my appreciation is expressed to the nurses who do fill the positions in the communities and I appreciate the work that they do but, at the same time, in the larger communities, some consideration should be put forward to compare the price of travel versus having a doctor stationed in the communities. I understand from talking to some people that there are a fair number of doctors overseas who are willing to come to Canada to practice but, for some reason or other, the medical profession has basically stopped their ability to practice in Canada. I'm not too clear on that. Maybe the Minister could comment on that.
