What is the malpractice liability exposure for a Canadian doctor? In the US, malpractice insurance is a huge expense for most doctors, and for some specialties (e.g. obstetrics) it's very close to prohibitive.

Canadian doctors are protected taxpayer subsidized insurance called CMPA. Typical cost is 1/10th of what it costs in US.
