Obviously easier said than done, but given all the stupid stuff they do that seems like an odd thing to pick at to me.
It's one of those things where just saying it sounds decent, sure, but that's not nearly enough. Where are they going to get them, and what are they doing to stop all the healthcare workers that we do have from leaving because it's a terrible place to work? Biggest thing for me is why focus on hiring people to solve one small symptom of healthcare rather than just hire more staff in general

Hiring 115 nurses to babysit waiting rooms doesn't really get you far if 150 nurses in other units are quit and move to Ontario anyway, and getting medics back on the road faster only gets you so far if they're just quitting and committing suicide
