Thank you, Madam Chair. The Minister responded to questions Mr. Roland had earlier and he had talked about doctors performing locums and also that there were telephone consultations. I find that a little strange that it may be standard practice in some communities. I could see consulting with a lawyer on the phone, but I have a little bit more concern consulting with someone who was treating me for health concerns. A recommended number of doctors that the department would suggest boards should have? Does he have a handle on the numbers of doctors that the Northwest Territories are short of at this time?
