Briefly, in conclusion, we really want to make it clear that as the doctors of tomorrow and the representatives of the Canadian Federation of Medical Students, we want to ensure that we're training not only the right number but the right mix of physicians in Canada, in order to be able to serve the health care needs of Canadian taxpayers.
What does that mean? It implies that we need to attract and also retain physicians in the rural and remote areas in Canada that need and deserve adequate health care. As it stands right now, we don't necessarily need to train more physicians; we just need to make sure they're distributed more efficiently across the country.
As we outlined earlier, there is a problem in physician maldistribution by geographic location and specialty, and that needs to be addressed. The way we need to see this addressed on a national level is to have a national human health resource database that will help us deliver adequate health care to all Canadians.
Finally, as Chloé highlighted earlier, there is a need to adjust the repayment schedule for the Canada student loans program in order to ensure that people can take advantage of these great resources that are being presented to residents who are interested in practising in rural and remote areas.
We look forward to answering your questions. Thank you for your attention.
