You're right, this is a very big challenge, but one that's present around the world. We share our experience and our ideas with other countries, at certain conferences, in the context of other partnerships. In Canada, we have the Health Human Resources Action Plan. This is a plan established by the provincial, territorial and federal governments. We're working together to develop a common plan. How are we going to go about it? We're going to start by improving the training of a number of types of health professionals as regards their ability to care for a lot of problems, particularly chronic diseases. In that regard, we're working closely with the provinces, territories and also our partners—like the Canadian Medical Association—to develop certain training projects for physicians, psychologists and nurses. We're working on this problem. You're right, it's a real challenge, and we see that we have to address it.
