Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, ladies.
I think that, when they choose health sciences, most young people want to become physicians or nurses. Those professions are more popular. They don't really think about becoming dieticians or working in a laboratory.
Based on what you have told us, there is risk of having a surplus of physicians in the future, but also of having a shortage of people in other medical professions that are less recognized. What kind of methods can the federal government use to promote some of those professions, so that the young people who choose the health care field can learn more about them? That's an important question I ask everyone. I will add other points to it.
Loan forgiveness has been discussed. Could similar measures be implemented to encourage young people to choose certain careers over others?
The same goes, locally speaking, for first nations. Would it be possible to promote certain professions over others—which may take less time to learn—since you were saying that the consequences will be seen only in 5 to 10 years?
I would like to know what you think about that.
