Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would encourage the department to stay on top of the number of physicians providing the services through locum here in town to make sure that we do maintain a reasonable level of service. I was wondering if I could get some details. The Minister, in response to a question in question period last week, announced a new program, a bursary program for doctors as a means of trying to attract more people to move to the North and practice. I was just wondering if we can get some details on this? For instance, is it the same sort of program as the Department of Justice has where they provide a bursary for aboriginal students who are taking law? There was not an awful lot said about the plans for the program. I know the Standing Committee on Social Programs had not heard anything in advance of the bursary program. I was just wondering if we could get some details on what is being planned there?
