Okay, we thank you for that.
You mentioned practising in Wolfville earlier—I think it was Dr. MacDonald. You mentioned quite a percentage that was musculoskeletal—I've forgotten what percentage—but also another range of conditions that you have to get involved in.
For full disclosure, one of my colleagues suggested that I declare my conflict of interest here as a chiropractor for 24 years. We're called the House of Commons and we represent a lot of different backgrounds here.
I think people are surprised that chiropractors study the wide range of subject matter that we do, including obstetrics and gynecology, the medical doctor at here at the table with us as well. It's not that we're going to be delivering babies, but if you're practising up in Nunavut or in the boondocks somewhere and you're it—we've had the midwives here—and it's up to you to be the primary birth assistant, it's very helpful to know something about the process.
Could you just comment on chiropractors as primary care practitioners—I think you mentioned 8,400—and integration? You gave a couple of examples, but I see examples across the country of integrative care that includes dieticians, physiotherapists, and psychologists sometimes, but there is no chiropractor on that health care team. Are there missed opportunities in integration? Is there an opportunity to better integrate chiropractic services?
