In the minute I have left, I have one quick question for the Metro Toronto Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic.

With your experience in the Toronto Southeast Asian community, do you have any thoughts on foreign-trained doctors? One of the biggest shortages I have in my riding is at our hospital, which is short 27 doctors. I understand there are 1,000 foreign-trained doctors in the country who haven't been given residency spots. Is there talent or skilled workers within your community on that front?
