There are two challenges we have to address.
The first is this: We have to change our assessment system. When a newcomer comes to Canada, they have to not only provide credentials but also go through the same assessment system, including...whether or not English is their first language. They may have practised in an English-speaking environment, but they are still required to write that exam in many parts of the country.
The second part is having consistent regulation across the country, whether you go to Saskatchewan or B.C. The regulations have shifted over the years. For example, in Saskatchewan, in a lot of peripheral locations in small rural towns, the medical care provided is done by folks who don't actually have their papers. What that means is they don't have the credentialing required to have migration across the country. That's an effect of different governments deciding, at different times, to change their criteria. We need a convergence across the country of that criteria in order to have free mobility across the country, particularly for immigrants who are health professionals. Two in five, I believe, is the StatsCan number of folks who are meaningfully employed in their area of expertise when they come to Canada. There's an enormous number of people out there who could work in the health care system.
I think the third and final point is this: We have to look at roles like physician assistants. Maybe you've been out of the health care system for a long period of time. You can still participate meaningfully, but not in the same role you had in your country of origin.
