Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question about Telehealth. I had the opportunity to get a briefing on that at another forum and I found it very interesting. I think it is an idea with a lot of potential, but I have also had people come and tell me that in order for it to be successful and do the thing that it is meant to do, which is not to replace a lack of resources, but to deliver our health system with modern technology and so on. I just want to make sure that if we are going to go with that, that there are enough resources and that the people are properly trained and there is a technological infrastructure in place.
I believe Mr. St. Germaine mentioned that this was going to be expanded slowly on an as needed basis. I would like to know, what is the plan? How much are we allocating for that and how long are we going to take to implement it? I just want to know more about how this is being implemented and where it is at.
My second question concerns recruitment and retention of doctors. I know that the Minister made a statement on this earlier in the last session and I see that there has been an advertisement for a position of consultant or somebody who is to do the recruiting. I wonder if the Minister could just tell me a little bit more about where she is with this issue that was very important to our constituents.
My last point is, I have to agree with the committee report and committee finding that the Early Childhood Program is essential and I know that that is a priority for the department as well. Hopefully we will see something concrete on that soon. Thank you.
