It's a nationwide testing system enabling the hiring of more health care professionals
Canada's Conservative leader is looking to pitch an idea on how to increase the number of doctors and nurses nationwide.
M-Ps in Ottawa will hear Pierre Poilievre's call to start a countrywide standardized testing process, meant to fill vacancies.
He's calling his proposal a ``blue seal'' testing standard that would allow qualified health-care professionals, including new Canadians, to work in any province or territory that volunteers to be part of the program.
Under the existing licensing system, each province and territory has its own processes to be licensed as a doctor or nurse.
Poilievre made the pitch yesterday at Ottawa's Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
