Mr. Chair, I would agree with that. I think we're probably learning a lot about these inefficiencies in our waiting list alliance and in our management of waiting lists, such as in orthopedics in Alberta and Ontario. You're going to be hearing a lot about that.

I would like to know, and it can come at another time, at what point you feel you should be in on the credential recognition. Should you be aggressively going out there and putting out what you want as a national body, or can you not do that because you have your provincial body doing it? Can the national body be aggressively looking for people who meet the requirements so that Canada will accept them as doctors?

President, Canadian Medical Association
As a professional association we're not into credentialing, but there are national bodies that do it.

That's all the time we have.
I want to thank everyone for being here today and taking the time to make presentations to us. I found it very informative.
We're going to go for a two-minute break so that we can go in camera to deal with some other committee business.
Once again, I want to thank all the individuals here today for taking the time to be here.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
