More Rural Docs

(Page 14)
Brought to you by: Ted Menzies,  M.P. Macleod
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance

Did You Know That…
Recently, Minister Aglukkaq announced federal funding that will support more than 100 family medicine residents to receive training and provide medical services in remote and rural communities across Canada. Your Government is committed to standing up for rural Canadians. As we all know, access to family doctors remains a challenge in many parts of rural Canada. If you live far from a city, getting to and from a doctor's office can mean hours of driving. It's clear that we need more physicians serving rural areas of all parts of the country, which is why your Government is funding up to 100 new medical residency positions for rural doctors. This investment will result in more family practices starting up on 'Main Streets' in rural Canada, and we will continue to stand up for and support rural Canadians.
