I personally, from my background as a family physician, share your perspective, and so does the association. What we're doing in medical school education is one of the direct ways of impacting on it, and most of the expansion in medical schools that I've alluded to is in distant campuses.
In British Columbia we now have a four-year training campus in Prince George. The University of Sherbrooke has a campus in Moncton. The evidence from the literature is that you are more likely to retain people from the environment in which you train them, so there is a definite move to train more in the communities. That's one very concrete example to address this very particular issue.
