Well, I don't think it would be a recommendation, but I think we maybe need to think about trying to identify where we would be ten or twenty years from now, even just projecting the number of human resources we have now. I think that's something that we don't do as a country, and it's something we should probably be doing.
Nationally, how many physicians and nurses we have, which is the pool available... With the interprovincial trade agreement now, where professionals can be recognized across the country, that's the pool of people we have to deal with. That's one thing. The second thing is, there's no short-term solution for physicians. It takes a long time to train a physician. It takes a long time to train a nurse. I think we need to maybe do an inventory of all the increases in number of seats in nursing, physicians, and other occupations.
It's my personal evaluation, but I think we would see that there has been progress, at least in terms of the training. It doesn't mean that it addresses today's problems, because it takes a long time to train a specialist. I think we should be careful about acknowledging a lot of effort that has been done by many provincial governments. We talked about the primary care transition fund of $800 million. To be frank, that's not a lot when you're talking about $172 billion a year in terms of spending. However, you see that in many jurisdictions there's group practice, groupe de médecine familiale in Quebec. Many provinces have implemented different ways of providing care. In Ontario you have.... What are they called?
