That's really low-hanging fruit. With people who are already living in Canada, we don't have to deal with the immigration process; we just have to get their credentials verified and get them working.
I know that B.C. has a $5-million marketing program that is looking at attracting physicians from outside of our country as well. Some of the problems there.... What I'm hearing from having discussions with the Minister of Health for the province is that the biggest barrier to recruiting doctors from across the border isn't licensing; it's getting a work permit and going through immigration. We have doctors who are in the country, and we can't get them working. We have doctors outside the country who are facing some barriers as well. It's already been talked about today that one of the repetitive and time-consuming barriers is the labour market impact assessment, which requires employers to prove the vacancy needs to be filled by a foreign worker.
I know I've gone a bit off topic here talking about physicians coming in from outside the province, but there's a simple fix or an opportunity there. When you consider that our health care is in crisis, maybe there could be an exemption there.
