Using this as an example, I met recently with laboratory medical professionals who work basically at hospital labs, carrying out the medical tests that your doctor or nurse orders, and who then give the results to the doctor. About 20% of their staffing comes from immigrants at this point. They have to meet the qualifications, of course, but they are desperate for additional people, and one of the solutions--only one part of the solution--is to maybe attract more laboratory professionals from overseas.
As their MP, what would you recommend I tell them in terms of a timeframe? Are they looking at this time next year, or two years from now? Based on your experience, what do you think is the real timeframe to actually seeing some tangible results for Canada?
