Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, colleagues. I have a question on section 27.4 and it has to do with the possibility of conflict between the Medical Profession Act and the Nurse Practitioners Act. I do not know if the Minister has been made aware of the concern raised by myself during the committee hearings. In the Social Programs Committee's report about this legislation, it was mentioned that the Minister address or consult with the medical association prior to the Minister proceeding with the permanent legislation regarding this concern. I believe the concern of the medical association was a lack of clarity about what would happen if there was for some reason a conflict between, or maybe there was the potential likelihood of a conflict between the Nurse Practitioners Act and the Medical Profession Act. My question is whether or not the Minister has been made aware of this and what is his response to that concern? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
