Thank you for that, Minister.
I guess the question was perhaps not clear. I didn't ask about COVID. I asked specifically about how many of the 7,500 doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners for $3.2 billion are actually working on the ground.
The Prime Minister spoke very clearly about these numbers in the House of Commons. I know you were there. I was there. I heard him say it in person. That's the question for which I'm looking for an answer on behalf of all Canadians and, perhaps, most specifically, on behalf of the 100,000 Nova Scotians without access to primary care.
Sir—through you, Mr. Chair, if I may—please provide the answer to how many of those actual health practitioners are on the ground.
