Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are trying to think of any way we can to attract doctors here. We are not unique in our shortage of physicians. I think I mentioned before that the province of Alberta is looking for about 330 positions right now. We think that about 15 to 16 would probably solve all of our problems here in the North.
We feel that the switch from fee for service to salary, where we can go out with the comprehensive package, which includes benefits and time off and predetermined salary, are all things that will be helpful in recruitment to us.
As far as other measures our department is taking, we are looking at a bursary program to encourage either southerners or northerners who would commit to return to work here, assistance while they are receiving their training and university. On that, there is just one more incentive that we are looking at to try and attract physicians to the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
