Madam Speaker, the budget included $97 million to establish a foreign credential recognition action fund. According to the budget, this fund would help address doctor shortages by supporting credential recognition of foreign-trained doctors. Given that there are at least 13,000 internationally trained doctors currently in Canada but not working as doctors, can the government tell us exactly how many doctors this $97-million fund would get licensed?
