Mr. Speaker, a lot of those doctors are coming home. The reason for that is that in Canada we understand that the social determinants of health are extraordinarily important. Good doctors have to work on poverty, violence and the environment. There is a huge disincentive in terms of family for doctors to want to stay there very long, and the best and the brightest are coming home.
