I have three minutes to go. I think I'll do some of that by follow-up. I have taken note of that.
Let me answer your first question first. For the last 10 years, when I arrived seven years ago at the AFMC, there was a project that had already been in the pipeline for a long time in terms of addressing aboriginal health and well-being.
There were two major components to it. One was ensuring that the physicians we graduate are capable of delivering culturally competent care to aboriginal communities. That involved making significant contributions to the curriculum, making sure that when you graduate, you are able to provide culturally competent care.
The second component was around recruiting aboriginal applicants to medical school and retaining them. As you said, the best case scenario is to graduate more aboriginal physicians. Seats were allocated across the country specifically to self-identified aboriginal students. The data that we have is not 100% correct because you can get into a seat without self-identifying. What I can tell you is that not all of the seats were even filled. It isn't that the faculties haven't gotten on board and tried to promote that.
We have larger socio-economic barriers that occur long before the decision to apply to a medical school happens. If we're going to fix the problem in this country, it's not at the medical school level. It's not at the university level. It's at the K-to-12 level, I believe, that we need to be making major investments. That will cascade across all of the other issues in terms of where aboriginal students go to school. I will follow up on those other questions to you off-line.
