"Patients have been a big driver in all of this," he added,"as access to care is the biggest issue for them right now. They want virtual care. They want to be able to have teams follow them wherever they go. If a person who lives in rural Quebec, for example, leaves to go to school in Ontario, a regional or national license would enable them to keep their family physician, which likely is not possible now because the physician probably is not licensed in Ontario.
