It would be. For me, it's about getting the people here and setting up an environment where people can be competitive in what they are doing. We have to be able to bring these people here and say to them, “You're going to be able to make a living doing this. This is going to be profitable for you. When you move into this community, there will be a doctor, a dentist, a hospital and a veterinarian.” We just can't do that yet. Being a veterinarian.... The shortage we have in Alberta right now.... There are almost 400 veterinarians needed in Alberta today, and that's not just for large animals. That's for companion animals, as well.
We've had the discussion with these communities, but the problem is that they want all of these other things, as well. The question becomes, where does the money come from to develop all of these things that people are asking for when they come to rural Alberta?
