Madam Speaker, I want to welcome the new member for Cumberland—Colchester. Indeed, we seem to be on similar paths in life, going from being doctors to being here in Parliament. I am really happy that he supports this bill. This week, we have seen some really nice change in terms of all being together on the same page, first with conversion therapy and now with this bill. I want to ask about something he hinted at in his speech, which is the coming problem of lack of manpower in the health care profession, like doctors and nurses. We had it before, but I think he realizes, like I do, that it is going to be worse after COVID because a lot of people, through age or attrition, are not going back to work. Can the member comment on ways he thinks we can start addressing the problem?

Madam Speaker, being the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River, I want to sincerely congratulate the member for Bay of Quinte for his election. He must be a good guy, given he is married to someone from Thunder Bay. I am sure that when his kids started playing hockey it came natural to them. I was interested in the member's comments about businesses in his riding not being able to find employees. As he may know, we have the same problem in Thunder Bay, and I think this is a common problem across Canada. However, we are bringing in 400,000 immigrants this year. Maybe that is not enough. What is his and his party's stance on immigration levels?
