16
Q
Okay. Is there any specialized training for
family practice?
A
The two years that I did first in Flint,
Michigan and then at the Plains Health Centre
was a family practice residency equivalent.
17

And at all times material to this action were
you licensed to practice medicine in
Saskatchewan?
A
I was.
18
Q
And you currently hold a valid licence to
practise medicine?
A
I do.
19
Q
Can you outline for me where you've practised
in Regina since 1991? Has it always been in
the same place or --
A
I think by 1991 I was practising in the Pasqua
Hospital facility, and about 1996 my
recollection is we moved into a clinic on
Broad Street, Broad Street and 14th Avenue.
20
Q
Now if you moved from one to the other, would
you take your patient records with you?
A
Yes.
21
Q

Broad Street Clinic?

My recollection is we moved in late 1995 and I

2004 -- 2003. 2003, correction.
22
Q
So you were at the Broad Street clinic from
'96 to '03 approximately?
A
Yeah.
23
Q
Okay. And that would encompass all the times
material to this action, you would agree?
A
Yes. I think in '91-92 I was at the Pasqua
Hospital, just to clarify that. So we had a
family practice clinic on the 4th floor of the
Pasqua Hospital.
24
Q
Would you operate back and forth or something
--
A
No.
25
Q
-- is that what you're getting at?
A
And then in 1996 we moved. So I think the
action really pertains to when I was
practising at the Pasqua Hospital not more
recently on Broad Street.
26
Q
I see. But the records that I got from Broad
Street clinic would have included --
A
We changed location. We kept everything else
the same.

Q
Okay. Good, thank you. Now, you've known Mr.
Evans and his family for some time, right?
A
Yes.

Q
