Madam Chair, I am here as the CEO of the Medical Council of Canada. I also happen to be the vice-chair of the Health Council of Canada, so I get mixed up sometimes with the data that I am delivering. I can't answer that question from the Medical Council's perspective; I can only answer from a personal perspective.
It seems to me that the health human resource planning aspect has dropped off the agenda, or at least dropped off the national or the pan-Canadian government agenda.
There has been some really successful re-engineering, as was mentioned, without increasing the physician resource. Alberta has good examples. There have been good examples across the country, but they're very patchy, and I think what has been lost in this is the idea that we were supposed to start with a needs-based assessment of the population. We were supposed to have provincial targets, and it was supposed to be driven at a pan-Canadian level. It seems to me that somewhere in the last five years, that has disappeared.
