Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for their testimony.
We all know the heavy workload on health care workers. There is burnout, and mental health is impacted. There's now a shortage of health care workers. We are discussing that.
When we met last month, Ms. Silas, and Dr. Smart, you can also answer, the issue we were all hearing about was that even before the pandemic, trained health care workers were not being able to work in their field. They come here as skilled workers, but are limited by provincial regulations. When the pandemic began, some provinces gave them emergency authorization. Now there is no agreement. We don't disagree that we need more health care workers.
What is your organization going to [Technical difficulty—Editor] and barriers that skilled workers face? Do you think it's a lack of training resources?
