This is an important issue because, as most people on this call and in this committee know, physicians have to self-fund their pensions. Unlike other public service workers, there is no pension for physicians. This is a huge problem for our profession broadly. It is also a challenge as we think about the future of the profession, as far as being able to care for themselves and their families into old age is concerned.
The pension issue is a very live one. It's one that the physician community is very strongly in favour of. It requires attention at both a federal and a provincial level to really move that ball down the field.
