I don't think we have a problem with having enough military doctors in uniform. We have all the uniformed doctors we need in the military right now. It's the civilian doctors at our clinics that we don't have enough of. We do exactly that. The training system and the process to get into medical school in Canada are fundamentally different from those in France. The French military is so huge the military has its own medical schools. We don't. Therefore, it's a bit of an apples and oranges comparison. We have no problem right now having enough uniformed health care providers.
