—come to Prince George, as my colleague just said. Or come to the Okanagan, the Boundary Country, the Kootenays or Similkameen in my region in British Columbia, and you will find hospitals that are closing for multiple days a year. Emergency rooms are closing suddenly, some for 50 days a year, because they don't have enough doctors and nurses. I really appreciate your story, and I'm glad we're going to do something about it.
Dr. Bichay, it has been reported that there are 5,000 internationally trained physicians practising in B.C. Do you have an estimate for how many physicians, nurses and other medical professionals might be trained but are unable to practise in British Columbia?
