I want to add to that.
We do have data, but we don't have enough data. The Royal College addressed this issue. Human health resource planning is complex. We can't just look at a snapshot every now and then and say that we're producing a surplus, or that the output this year was positive with 1,600 positions. That's not enough. We have to have a better idea globally of what's going on. We need to know who is graduating, how many hours they're going to be working, where they're going to be working, what infrastructure they're going to need. We need a lot more information than just the net numbers that we have now. It's multifactoral.
It wouldn't be an easy task to develop this kind of database, but there are a lot of stakeholders who are interested in this. A lot of stakeholders would be interested in contributing to the knowledge behind what we need. I think Health Canada would be a good partner.
Certainly, we agree there is information, but we just don't have all the pieces.
