I think I heard you mention two other points. One was on the mobility between rich provinces and poor provinces. There is no doubt that the richer fee schedules do take the new graduates to their province and rob from the other provinces. That's very clear. I see that with the new residents I train who are looking for a province to practise in.
There is no standard across the country to make sure that rich and poor provinces.... They do steal from one another, and that is a problem.
The second part that I also heard you mention is that rural practice is suffering. Rural practice is suffering. It's very difficult to get relief physicians for a vacation, but it's also very difficult in rural practice to carry on your day-to-day activities. And there are many rural communities that are doing everything--they're standing on their heads--trying to recruit physicians into their small communities.
The problem here is that there is no relief on a day-to-day basis, and I think there has to be some sort of strategy to amalgamate small communities so that you could take a Wednesday off or you could not be on call for maybe two or three nights in the week so you could catch up on your sleep. So there is a real issue there, too.
