We have always said that we need to look at these challenges in a way that goes outside of what we are currently doing in the province of Ontario. As the member opposite knows, we do have clinics, like the Shouldice Hospital, that currently operate and have operated for decades in the province of Ontario. We will continue to work with those partners—all partnerships. We’ve seen innovative models with community care paramedics. We’ve seen innovative models with 911 off-loads, with dedicated off-load nurse practitioners who are able to take those emergency department patients so that the paramedics can go back out onto the road.

All of these are innovations, new ways of approaching an existing problem that has been plaguing our health care system for, frankly, years and years. We’re going to make sure that those innovations are available to all communities. I’ve often spoken about the paramedic program that’s available in 49 areas. We’re going to expand that, because it’s working.

We’re working with our partners. When they bring forward ideas and suggestions that we see have an opportunity to improve the health human resources in Ontario, we’re doing that. This is not an Ontario-exclusive issue. We’re seeing it in jurisdictions across Canada—indeed, the world. But we’re making sure that where we have opportunities for engagement, for improvements, we’re doing that, and, of course, most recently that’s the college of nurses with our internationally trained educators.
