It does not make any sense. Let us take the scenario in Canada in 1986 when their doctors went on strike. Think what would happen if our specialists went on strike today, and all of a sudden you cannot get some certain procedure or cataract surgery or something like that, because there are only a limited number of professionals, maybe-- I don't know how many--in the entire country, but certainly less than 10,000, and they all get together. They have the ability to get together, because they have the specialization, which is needed, for a powerful union, a powerful organization. They have the skills. They have the money to form a network. They could make all kinds of demands under this system which they cannot make right now under the free market system.
