I entirely agree with you. We necessarily have doctors outside large centres as we want to attract them in areas where there is a lack of physicians. However, when someone from the north of the province must go for an interview to Gatineau because this is where services are offered, it raises a problem. When you have to travel long distances, you can see that Quebec is a big province. A doctor must lose several days of work and hospitals cannot afford that luxury. Furthermore, when the appointments are postponed, he must make one more trip. It is quite discouraging for our professionals or our technical specialists.
I have a last question. At the beginning of his mandate, the minister announced an $18 million investment to simplify the process for foreign credentials recognition.
What role do you play in that respect? Is that issue progressing satisfactorily?
