Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One of the concerns throughout Canada is with the reduction phase that Canadians went through with the federal government and the provinces, there has been a drop in potential graduates that would come through the system or entering into it. There has been a drop and there is a concern throughout Canada as to the number of physicians that will be available for Canadians. We are facing competition from other sectors in that area as well so it is a concern.
One of the areas in the Northwest Territories, it is a little more difficult to measure or try to receive numbers or get numbers on physicians because the majority of physicians in the Northwest Territories practice privately. Whereas for nurses, they are employees of the government and the boards so we can, with much work, pull the numbers together to track. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
