Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to thank all three of you for appearing before the committee this morning. I have a few questions. For the first, I'd like a relatively short answer.
Ms. Robert, you mentioned earlier the situation, when my colleague Raymond Simard asked the question about the training of professionals. You said, among other things, that Franco-Ontarians were lucky to have the Montfort Hospital to provide them with a certain number of professionals. You also mentioned that one of the challenges was retaining those people. I'm from New Brunswick, and we have the same challenge. I also think that it will probably remain a challenge for some years, even decades.
Take the Montfort Hospital, for example. If the hospital no longer existed today, for reasons we all know, would it be difficult to have access to a pool of professionals?
