As I briefly concluded in that paragraph, even though I understand that this is a provincial jurisdiction, I think we need to have a global plan across Canada for planning the needs. When I talked about pediatrician retention, I specifically spoke about what happens in our tertiary care hospitals. I'm not talking about the community pediatricians; I'm talking about the specialists and subspecialists.
I think first we have to plan appropriately for the whole country how many we need to train—not just province by province. For example, in pediatric nephrology, 17 university hospitals need pediatric nephrologists, but there are just six or seven centres in three provinces that train them. Obviously, if the calculation is made only within the province, it won't be enough. That is needed.
I think it's very interesting to be able to recruit specialists from other countries who might not have all the expertise for every single little thing that we need. In a way, if this could be facilitated in terms of the recognition of diplomas, especially from medical schools in other countries that we know are of equivalent quality, I think that could be of great importance. I know certain provinces have made certain agreements with certain countries. That would certainly be of help.
