Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe the concern of the medical association was that the requirement for the practitioners to have a collaborative practice agreement will not address sufficiently the concerns that the medical profession has. As we know, in the North we have locum doctors who work in many facilities and not all of them may understand, realize or appreciate when they enter into these agreements that they may enter into something that may get them into trouble under the Medical Professions Act, or something like that. I do not believe that the fact that there is a requirement for a collaborative practice agreement will address that. I would like to know if the Minister could commit to working with the medical association to address their concerns in this regard, rather than just relying on that requirement for the agreement. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
