Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Last week ministers Duclos and Khera co-announced $379 million for the safe long-term care fund. Standards have been released and much progress has been made. The challenge that persists is workforce-related, and that's something we need to address. The feedback we've received so far will guide us in those deliberations. I thank everybody who came today to provide us with that insight.
My question will be brief, but I'd like to be able to get to more than one witness. I have only five and a half minutes remaining.
I would ask you, Dr. Morrison, with a shout-out to Halton—I grew up really close to Sheridan College—if you could answer this question first and then provide enough time for others to tune in as well. My question is related to the qualifications for foreign-trained and -educated medical professionals in this country. In looking for solutions to attract more talent in the upstream for students who are currently in high school or are perhaps doing an undergraduate degree, it's good to address this problem years and decades from now, but we have a challenge right now. I know that in my diverse community of Milton, we have a lot of people who are qualified to be physicians' assistants, doctors, nurses and personal support care workers who are doing other jobs. They're far more qualified than that.
How can the Ontario but also cross-Canada post-secondary network assist us in training up foreign-trained medical professionals to ensure that we can address this challenge now?
