Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the vacancy numbers as of December 31, 2002, overall combining GPs and specialists, were 24.4 percent. Mr. Speaker, we've since added 19.5 positions; 16.5 GPs and three more specialists. We are in the process of working with the medical association to stamp those. We just signed a good agreement with the general practitioners which has been put on the medical association's web site, which is part of a recruiting tool, I understand, that lays out in detail the package, but at this point, while we have the resources in place to add to the doctor complement, the issue is finding doctors. These numbers as of December 31st are somewhat dated. We still have positions to fill. Thank you.
