Thank your, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank you for being here this morning to not only give us your presentations, but also to analyze the very important issue of employability. I also appreciated very much your contribution up to now. I have many questions to ask you. I will ask them in the same order the presentations were made.
My question is for Mr. Jong, of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada. You reminded us that Mr. Romanow stated in his recommendations that there is simply not enough financial resources to address the problem of access to health care in rural areas. He recommended the investment of $5 billion over a number of years in order to deal with this problem.
You are directly involved with this problem. Could you tell us whether investments have been made to give you the means to go forward the way Mr. Romanow suggested?
