There's actually a system in Alberta, at the current point in time, that the Alberta government has been working on where physicians can register with a central registry and say they are willing to participate. Patients, or a health care provider, can call that number and find out more information about the legislation and about the service, but also be connected, where appropriate, with a willing provider. They put that in place because of the situation they had where a patient in Calgary was not able to find a willing provider and had to travel outside of the province, even though there were many physicians in Calgary who could have assisted. We desperately need this type of a system to make sure that we connect patients and providers.
