My impression of the effects on provinces of the federal budget and the commitments is, number one, that people are rethinking the way they currently regulate and license doctors. The Right to Care Act in Ontario, to a great degree, was for compliance with the bilateral agreements that they knew were coming.
There's also recognition of international credentialing for the U.S. in places like B.C. and Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is obviously going to have effects across the whole Atlantic region because of that licence that's shared across the different regions for locum providers.
I think we are definitely seeing early signs. The CMA has been a part of federal tables, with a lot of other groups across the country. The coalition for health workers is a place that we gather to try to accelerate some of these changes. We've adjusted some of our advocacy to reflect the needs of other members in that coalition so we're all moving in the same direction.
I think you definitely are seeing early signs of what the federal government is supposed to do, which is to bring people to the table and get them to start to hash out exactly how we solve these very complex problems.
