Thanks, Mike.
Thank you for the question. The answer is a $1.2-billion transition fund over four years, whereby provinces and the federal government as well would look to expand primary care teams and to look to see what measures communities need and to implement them.
Our young doctors want to work in a team-based care model that includes nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and home care experts. Our seniors need family physicians for good primary care in order to stay in place at home. This is the way forward.
If you have a family doctor, you're lucky. Imagine what it would be like not to have a family doctor or a primary care provider team. This is a model that has been shown to be effective. The Prime Ministerhas said that primary care teams have the answer, and we want to work collaboratively to implement that model.
