First, I believe that the leadership of the professions is on the right track. We've spent five, six, seven years and $780 million of taxpayers' money developing a new approach to primary health care. It actually does remove the physician from being the gatekeeper and allows Canadians to access health care from the providers that they need to see. The leadership has signed on to that, literally signed on in a charter, and is doing what they can to get it down to the troops. It's a culture change.
