Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm attempted to ask whether we can just give all 14 of those students a contract as soon as they get off the plane. But my understanding is that currently med schools, they're nowhere near graduating enough doctors to fill the demand and the reason they won't let more students in is because there's not enough residencies. So there's this kind of fight going on between the med schools and the provinces and territories. So I just want to make sure we're doing our part to grow the residencies. Are there any plans to expand residency further? I heard the Minister say we got these two each additional year for family medicine. But there's a lot of specialties and there's kind of an insatiable demand on both sides for residencies and doctors. So is there any further plans to expand our residencies? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
