Why are people so obsessed with getting new doctors from immigration? Where's the call to increase schooling capacity?

Our capacity for training doctors and nurses hasn't increased in decades. Every year hundreds of potential health care workers get turned away from schooling because we don't have the capacity. And everyone big idea is to ... not fix the root problem.

Any way you spin it this problem will take years to solve. Whether through immigration or through increased training capacity, it's going to take years. So we might as well let Canadians get trained for these jobs. We clearly want to, as evidenced by the greater number of applicants than seats.

I'm not against immigration by any means. I just don't hear anyone else talking about schooling capacity.

Then you're not listening.
