Getting more doctors and nurses to Ontario and allowing them to enter the system easier is a main focus of Yasir Naqvi.
The current MP for Ottawa Centre is running to become the next leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
Naqvi says we need to start with “Yes” to streamline and simplify the licensing process.
He says it’s important to be able to keep medical students at home.
Simply saying ‘yes’ to international professionals is where Naqvi says it starts.
He adds closures, long wait times and endless waitlists are an unnecessary and avoidable burden on Ontarians and it’s unacceptable that thousands of well-trained nurses and doctors are forced to sit on the sidelines, unable to help.
