Thank you, Chair.
Like many of my colleagues, I would like to start by thanking all of the spectacular nurses who make our health care system run. Here I give a special shout-out to a friend of mine, Katie. You do amazing work and we are very proud of all the work you do for our community.
Specifically, I was reading an article last week from CTV Vancouver, which was talking a little bit about how there are an unknown number of patients in B.C. who can't find a family physician. Yet, in Alberta, because of some of the boards that we have, with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta having a directory that allows them to show how many doctors are accepting new patients in Alberta, they can give a precise number. Often, at this committee up to this point, we've heard a lot about statistics and how the statistics are haphazard across the country, and I'm wondering, perhaps starting with Dr. Smart, if there any jurisdictions who are doing the statistics piece better or worse.
