In fact, I understand they're not required to have licences in the provinces where they are working currently, as long as they work for National Defence. So registration, for example, with the College of Physicians and Surgeons--we have it here in section 4.44--is sort of an indicator of confidence. We checked just to see whether they were actually licensed and registered anywhere, and we found no problems with the medical doctors. But that was work the audit team did. We would have expected the department itself to know that people were licensed in some place and had all the qualifications necessary to actually practise medicine.
