You are right that some health programs have quotas and that we can only accept a certain number of students. That is the case for dental hygiene for example. At the Cité collégiale, we can only accept about 60 students into the program. But that was not the case in the past. Before the consortium was created, the Ontario government limited our enrolment to 30. The consortium approached the Ontario government and told it that the number of students needed to be increased because waiting lists were very long.
So we were authorized to increase our enrolment in this program. We also received an increase because it was in French. Often, the profession sets quotas to limit enrolment. You are right in that it's an issue. There is also an issue of space and spots linked to institution funding.
