It is something that requires sustained effort and we don't have anyone who has agreed to take this on as a commitment to Canadians. Those of us sitting at this table are chugging away. The research that we're doing on physician unemployment is self-funded. I do a lot of it during my holidays and weekends because I'm committed to it. My daughter, who is finishing her honours degree, read my brief and when she saw the dog's breakfast of regulation and education, she was really dismayed. She said, “Mom, this is a mess. How can this be? I hope you can convince the people around this table that our government, my government, has to do something for me”. So we are all working at it in the best way we can, but we need someone to bring us together.
To the point about there being a whole bunch of people with the flu sitting in a family physician's office, and they're churning them through, well maybe if there were interprofessional teams and a good robust electronic medical record, the family physician wouldn't just be taking care of the common flu. He'd be taking or she would be taking care of more complex issues.
