Mr. Creates, I was very surprised by your comment about doing the 180 degrees, but I guess you've read the legislation and have seen what some of us were seeing also.
My question is on a more general scenario. Any of you can answer it.
The minister is saying we're going to allow doctors to come into Canada faster. I find that a little preposterous. We do have doctors on the inventory list of 900,000 to 925,000 cases. A doctor, to be allowed into Canada...that doctor, when she or he comes into Canada, will not automatically be guaranteed a place to work. They will have to go through the colleges in each province. They will have to qualify in order to work. And some of the provinces are allowing 48 doctors per year; others are allowing 50.
So I am perplexed when the doctor.... I mean, the minister is playing with the senior Canadians and the Canadians who...and some of the people who live in rural Canada certainly do not understand immigration the way that some practitioners like you do, or some of the members of Parliament who are involved in it every day.
The minister says we're going to allow more doctors in, then stops it there and doesn't qualify that, “Yeah, if we do, too bad, so sad; they won't be able to practice.”
I'm wondering if in 30 seconds some of you can qualify that.
