“ will speed up the licensing of our medical doctors and nurses,” he said. “If you’re a doctor, you shouldn’t be riding a taxi.” Poilievre said the current setup that prevents some health-care professionals from working in Canada if trained abroad is due to bureaucracy and “government gatekeepers.”He said that there are approximately 19,000 Canadian doctors and 34,000 Canadian nurses who can’t work in hospitals in the country because they were trained abroad.
