No, we were not consulted on the cuts that were announced yesterday. We would be interested in hearing the rationale behind some of the cuts and what could be done to address some serious issues in alternative ways, if in fact the ways that were being announced weren't exactly the right ways.
As for deregulation, it was a bit of a confused question. If by deregulation we mean deregulating the professions, we're against that. We think it's important to maintain the quality of care throughout the health professions, beginning with doctors. As for deregulating the market for physician services, we already indicated that we're living in a global environment for physicians. It was mentioned that we're starting to see a back-flow of highly qualified personnel, as Dr. Phillipson indicated. For the first time in 30 years, we actually saw a net balance of trade surplus in physicians last year vis-à-vis the United States, with 55 net physicians coming into Canada. We already think we're in a global market for physician services. Canadian doctors are respected, and their credentials are acknowledged throughout the world.
