This sort of goes to the heart of all the interprovincial trade barriers. In everything we do in Canada, we seem to have barriers as we go down through jurisdictional levels.
I have two hospitals in my riding that are closing because we can't find primary care doctors, yet we have between 13,000 and 18,000 doctors sitting in Canada waiting to go through that process. With great fanfare, the minister has announced that she wants to add another 5,000. It sounds great, but what about the 13,000, 15,000 or 18,000 who are already sitting here? Is there not a way you can coordinate better with your partners in the industry to fast-track the critical care doctors who mean so much to my region in Niagara?
