Thank you, Chair.
Ministers, welcome.
I'd like to get some clarification on whether this is coming from Minister Diab or Minister Michel.
There is a visa training program where medical students from other countries are entering residency positions. They are funded completely by their home countries; many of them are from Saudi Arabia. They bring their own funding and, in fact, their sponsors will also pay a stipend that will help fund the medical school.
There have been claims that these trainees are taking residency spots away from residents who would stay in Canada and practise. Is this true?
