Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank you, Minister, and congratulate you, coming off the budget. I think we have a good story for health care in Canada. I have already gotten feedback on the family caregiver tax credit of $2,000 to help Canadians who will be having to stay at home to look after a family member who may be ill.
We had the opportunity to travel up north as a committee, and we got to see the challenges that these remote communities have in recruiting and retaining physicians. Sometimes when there are rumours that there could be an election out there, the jurisdictions between the provinces and territories sometimes get blurred. One of the things that was in the budget was quite exciting for me. I know your commitment to getting more health care professionals up north has been rock solid. How will the Government of Canada's investment in family medicine residencies support the provincial and territorial efforts to recruit and retain physicians in underserved communities? Would you be able to follow through with that?
