That is at the provincial government's discretion. Essentially how it works is there is supposed to be a health and human resources allocation for these spots where they look at the needs of the communities, the need for specific types of physicians in those places as well as predefined spots that determine the specialists, and those spots are then available to make application to.
Unfortunately, my understanding is that this doesn't happen as much as it needs to, so oftentimes we're applying to processes that are out of date, and the positions we're applying to are not necessarily ones that represent the need at that particular time. How government is implicated in that is through running that model but also funding the spots based on the needs of the community.
That is the provincial context, but, as was mentioned before, the federal government has to look at the needs of our pan-Canadian system in a way that the provincial governments can't always do in their own contexts, so that they're leading what we need as a country and giving the provinces the tools they can use to fill their specific needs based on the context that the federal government is working in.
