I understand that this is a provincial jurisdiction. I understand your reluctance. Having said that, I think the issue of the shortage of family doctors is a medical school issue, Dr. Moineau. When the representatives of the Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec appeared before the committee, they told us that the value of the profession of family doctor needed to be promoted. They said that medical schools sometimes have trouble attracting candidates to general medicine rather than to certain specialties.
It is therefore important to make major changes in technology and practice conditions and to facilitate work in the regions. We were told that better, more sustainable and predictable funding through the provinces could help faculties make this change.
What are your thoughts on that?
