Thank you, Madam Chair. I didn't think we were going to get this far.
My take-home so far from the discussions that we've had is that first of all, I don't think we've had near enough opportunity to hear from Shelagh Woods. The whole aboriginal issue probably has its own context, which we need to perhaps look at in the future.
Obviously, we haven't had nearly enough time to talk about the opportunity for technology to support human resource issues, for primary care teams to support human resource issues, and what incentives will actually be effective in terms of human resource issues and maintaining our practice professionals.
I had the opportunity to go to a conference in Clearwater, British Columbia, on health human resources. They had the Minister of Health there, and Health Match B.C., and the academic institutes. It was funny, because it seemed they were completely disconnected from the thought that the federal government had any role to play. That was quite interesting for me.
When I listened to the Minister of Health for B.C., it was about having new seats and really getting things together, and then when you talk to the CMA, it's that the residency seats just aren't there. So there's that disconnect--which you suggested is a huge issue--in terms of medical residency seats.
To get to a question, Carol White spoke about the interprovincial mobility as of April 1. I was just wanting to understand a few more details. Right now, can an RN in Ontario immediately go to B.C.? Can a doctor? I would presume nurse practitioners can't, because there are varying standards. Could you tell me more about that?
