Debt forgiveness for some

- September 16, 2008

On an election stop at pilipiliÂþ»­ on Monday, New Democrat Leader Jack Layton floated some ideas to reduce the shortage of family doctors in Canada.

One idea is to forgive graduating medical students their debts if they commit to spending the first 10 years of their practice in family medicine.

A good or a bad idea? Should medical students have their debts covered if they agree to become family doctors?
