First of all, I appreciation the promotion. It's “Mister” Girard, but I'll take “Doctor”.
The way you go about implementing an electronic health record in a small province—it's a large province geographically, but a relatively small province by comparison with Ontario or Quebec or some of the other larger jurisdictions—is a bit simpler, but it has the same moving parts, so it's very complex.
We have a project on which we spent roughly $40 million implementing this over the space of four or five years. It was co-funded with Infoway, roughly 50-50. I'm not going to suggest to you for a second that it was easy, because it wasn't. It's the standardization of data and making sure that the information you're getting, which has been collected historically using different data standards, and the whole aspect of change management.... How do you introduce these systems so that a physician can use or access the information without any extra steps? They don't have time to hunt around looking for information.
There are many changes like that. It becomes easy, once you put them into practice, because it's infectious. Even physicians have approached me, physicians who have said that this isn't really going to make a big change in their practice. In actual fact, they've noticed that they've learned something and that it is making a difference.
Change is a lot easier to introduce when there's value associated with it, and our program, which we branded eChart Manitoba, is beginning to deliver it. It's hard to keep the genie in the bottle, if we even wanted to; it is really everyone who wants a piece of it. Our resources now are being stretched to the limit just keeping up.
That includes first nations, by the way. We went live on our first nations site about a month ago. We were very proud of that, because it shows the partnership that we're now having across the country, which wasn't there before.
I forget whether you had a second question, but hopefully that answers this question.
