Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to begin with the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers. I note that you commended the commitment made by the government in its last budget with respect to consulting key stakeholders on the establishment of an agency to assess foreign credentials.
To my knowledge, the professional associations fall within the responsibility of the provinces. In your opinion, what point would there be in having an additional participant -- namely, the federal government -- involved in this highly complex issue? As you well know, we've been talking about it for many decades. What point would there be in getting the federal government involved and what could it bring to the process?
