Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I have about thirty questions, but only five minutes for answers, so I'll try to get to three if I can.

First of all, Dr. Rourke, to what do you attribute the fact that currently 8% of medical students come from rural Canada? Do you think the rural access scholarship is the right way to increase that number? What would be the target? Would it be 30%, or would it be higher than that?
