Mr. Speaker, I haven't specifically talked to other Ministers. We all have the different types of issues in recruiting doctors. There are doctor shortages everywhere. It's just that our percentage of our population that don't have immediate access to doctors is probably higher than most, maybe not as high as Nunavut but higher than most places. We develop various strategies. We have a website. We have bursaries. We have 22 medical students from NWT now out in school that we are tracking. Like I indicated, we offer a good compensation package. We also offer residency to any doctors that wish to come here to gain some experience and practice. Thank you.
