Thank you very much, Doctor, for that question.
I haven't heard your specific stats before, but I know you are an excellent advocate for the rural communities and particularly the topic you're talking about; I know you're very familiar with it.
In the immigration world here, we are supporting the regional recruiting efforts for foreign-trained health care workers through regional programs, which I know you're familiar with, and pilot projects. For example, there is the provincial nominee program, and there is good news, again. In this particular budget, in the immigration plan, we have increased the provincial nominee program for all provinces and territories. It's going to be over 90,000 people in 2026. I know many provinces and territories are using a lot of those numbers for health care professionals.
Also, we have the rural and francophone community immigration pilots. I know there's one in your community, and I know that they are working extremely hard on that; I can give you some stats. The good news is, since 2023, there's been an increase—actually, some of it is a sharp increase—in the year-over-year number of health professionals who have been recruited into Canadian provinces and territories.
