Thank you for the question.
Let me concentrate specifically on doctors and nurses, although the question is broader than that; I recognize that, and will state that for the record.
When you look at the money that is flowing from the 2004 health accord, there are specific amounts designed to increase the number of health professionals who become licensed and integrated into our Canadian health workforce. So certainly in terms of the financing of the 10-year plan, that's one of the modules.
We do have to work with our provincial and territorial counterparts. In their relationships with their colleges, for instance, they have to be part of the solution. In our government, with my colleague Minister Solberg in particular, we're all working on a plan to smooth out some of the bottlenecks that exist internationally right now in terms of people who have already chosen to come to Canada or who in fact are already landed in Canada but have had difficulty getting their credentials sorted out.
This has been an endemic problem, and the reason it's been endemic is that if there were a simple solution to it, it would have been done by now. The fact of the matter is that you need the professional organizations, the colleges, you need Immigration Canada, you need Health Canada, and you need every single health ministry all rowing in the same direction if you're going to make some headway on this. But we all know that we have to do it, and it should be done.
