Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, I asked the Minister yesterday if she was aware of any complaints or inquiries into the conduct of any physicians. I’m going to sort of move away from that today because

she didn’t really directly answer my question and I still don’t really even know if she knows. But it raises an interesting point. To be the agency which approves the licences of people to practise medicine is a huge responsibility. It’s also a huge liability, because if a complaint is laid and an investigation is undertaken and it is elevated to the point of going to a board of inquiry or going to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, then it would be really good if the Minister of Health and Social Services was aware of that happening and was also aware of her options with respect to suspending a licence to practise for a period of time.

So I’d like to ask the Minister what is the protocol currently in place for when a complaint is laid and how she would become informed of that complaint and the process that would ensue. Thank you.
