Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it is my understanding that we have one resident full-time physician right now. They still have access through telephone consultations with the physicians in Churchill and in Winnipeg. There are plans under way for a full-time recruitment. They have secured contracts for three full-time physicians, starting at different times. It is my understanding there is one on staff now. There is one starting in November and another one committed for start in March of 1998. They also have locums available and signed for different various terms for coverage. It is summarizing the information that I have recently received from the Keewatin Health Board. In November they will have two MDs the entire month and a third for half the month. In December they will have four physicians available for the entire month and a fifth for half of the month. In January they will have four physicians for the entire month. That is a three month future needs assessment they have outlined to me. A physician supply they have outlined to me. Thank you, Madam Chair.
