I would argue nursing staff, physiotherapists, mental health workers, dietitians, etc need more of a pay raise. They're often working in the same settings and at least as many hours in hospitals and family health clinics but paid a small fraction of doctora' wages despite tons of schooling.

Unfortunately, Canada has always had an issue of doctors leaving to the USA due to better pay there. Although I have little sympathy for them given how much they're already earning, I'd rather them have an inflated salary than corporate bailouts, governmental beurocratic inefficiencies, CEOs, etc so I'll live with it.

Edit: also because the alternative is moving to a private system where you can be certain they'll be overpaid, but healthcare will be categorically worse.
