"Allowing more people ( MDs?) to open practices and the strain will be eased.."

That's exactly what the Provincial and Federal governments, that govern the number of MDs that get trained and are allowed to practice medicine  in Canada and its provinces don't want.

To keep costs down the government's decided to limit the number of medical doctors since they see patients, investigate and treat them at great cost the the province and country...Canada has 2.7 MDs per 1000 , Ireland has 3.2: 1000, France 3.4: 1000, Italy 4.1:1000 and Switzerland 4.3 : 1000.....all rated as having superior health care systems to our own.

How are you going to persuade young MDs to sign a 5-10 year lease ( or to build a medical building) and set up a medical practice with all the costs and responsibilities involved in the present environment.

Young MDs are avoiding such burdens like the plague, they are flocking into WICs and locums as they wait and see which way the wind blows.
