Our plan is to implement programs. That's why I referred to creativity. We won't have a faculty of medicine in our province. How do we go about ensuring that our young people can study medicine in French and then come back home?
The organization of practicums is also important because that's what encourages them to come back home. If they see what it means to work in Nova Scotia, they'll be much more inclined to come back than if they do their practicum in Ontario or New Brunswick. They'll be much more attracted to home.
Medical training takes seven years. When you send a young person to study outside the province, we know it'll be seven years before we see them again. That's just an example. The introduction of French-language services is a long-term project. So program continuity is important. Having to restart programs and projects every year or two slows us down. In every case, we have to wait six months to a year before another program is implemented.
Long-term programs are extremely important in health.
