Yes.
Currently we have more older Canadians than younger Canadians, but we have nine times as many pediatricians as we do geriatricians. There are only 305 registered geriatricians in the country. Again, when we talk about palliative care specialists, there are not as many as there need to be. This is where we're calling for a national human resource strategy, or at least targeted investments.
The federal government, for example, could lead to try to promote training. We have more people applying for training positions than there are currently funded, and that's not helping us reach the critical mass we need to meet the needs of an aging population.
