I come from a very rural riding, Labrador. There are a lot of small communities spread out along the coastlines, some in the interior. I think we have something akin to the bush nursing post in Labrador.
Has much study been done on a comparison between services available in urban and rural remote or northern remote areas? What has been found? Is there a lack of services generally or a lack of availability or access in rural remote as compared to urban areas? What kinds of suggestions do you have about that?
I'm sure the Australian experience must be similar, given the huge dynamics of the country. It has the same feel as Canada. I'm wondering what you can tell us about that urban and remote rural mix.
