I'm Gregory Smart, an expert adviser at the Department of Finance.
This goes back to the definition of “practitioner” in the act.
First of all, a practitioner has to be licensed or otherwise certified to practise their profession in the province where the service is supplied. If the person is not required to be licensed or certified to practise that profession in that province, they'll have the qualifications equivalent to those necessary to be so licensed or otherwise certified in another province.
I understand that, in this case, the services we're talking about are licensed in the maritime provinces but not in Quebec—at least, not under the title “psychoeducator” or some of these other professions that exist in Quebec. In that case, I would think they would fall under paragraph (c). They would be required to have the qualifications equivalent to those that are necessary to be licensed in a province, such as New Brunswick, where they are so licensed.
That's all I can say.
