Sure. Throughout Canada, more than 800 first-year undergraduate positions have been added in the last nine or ten years. That orthodoxy of the early nineties, and you mentioned Mr. Rae and other premiers at the time.... Bob Rae admitted in his memoirs that one of the worst things he ever did was cut medical school enrolment, which is saying a lot, because he did a lot of bad things. But regardless of that, we are reversing the trend now and we are seeing some improvements on that.
Northern Ontario School of Medicine is a big success story. I think other provinces are looking at opening new medical schools as well. And of course I'm very encouraging of that process.
You know it's a success when both sides at the table here are sparring over who should take the credit for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. But you're right, I did announce that. I'm very proud of it. This year we'll have our first graduating year since the school was created.
If any of the graduates are listening, please stay in Canada and please consider Parry Sound—Muskoka.
