We were just discussing it. I'll take that. That is exactly the mandate of the physician resource task force that has been commissioned by the committee on health workforce. This was based on the first recommendation of the future of medical education project: determine the right mix, number, and distribution.
All our organizations around the table are on the task force or on the technical steering committee that is looking at that question. At the end of the day, we want to be able to help inform the provinces, and remember, this is a federal-provincial-territorial activity.
Based on our data, it appears we will need fewer of these, so it comes back to the provinces appropriately allocating the number of residency positions, and in Quebec, the provincial government establishing the number of PREMs, as they call it, to say this is the number of practising physicians we will accept in our province.
We hope that type of evidence-informed planning will come out of the work of the task force.
