My observation is really to try to match our immigration policy with our needs, and to understand that whatever extra measures we do apply to provide opportunities for these internationally educated physicians to integrate into Canadian society...that we do not give them greater opportunity than our Canadians who are trying to enter medicine as well. If you tip it too much, you're creating some bottlenecks for Canadians who are trying to enter medicine, which is very competitive in this country. We have a lot of Canadians studying abroad right now who are trying to reintegrate as well, who don't have training slots.
