So boost those.

Now, that's not something you can't scare that up over the next five months, but you can do it.

We can start to do things like converting old office buildings that have maybe been shuttered during the pandemic.

There are things that we can do to try to jury rig the system to build up more beds, but that's something that we need.

We cut out

physicians.

We cut out primary care physicians.

We didn't matriculate enough, graduate enough physicians and enough specialists.

So we can make up for that.

Again, that's going to take a few years to do that.

In the meantime, what are some of the things that we can do?

Water the wine or allow us to

to get more bang for our buck.

We can certainly invest in other kinds of professionals.

So nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other kinds of professionals.

We can open the doors to international medical graduates.

You know, right now with what's going on in the United States,

We have the potential for a bonanza of physicians and nurses who are looking to come to Canada.

And, you know, that solution wasn't on the radar screen two years ago.

Nobody was talking about it.
