I'll keep it brief.
Relating to labour mobility and skills, this comment draws upon an initiative that Ambassador Jacobson took a real leadership role on, and that is moving skilled workers from U.S. states who are in demand for occupations in the oil sands. In particular I'm thinking of the welders, electricians, etc.
Some of the lessons learned that we got from that include that it's not just the credentialling authorities who are necessary to make that happen. We also had the participation of the labour unions on both sides of the border, saying, “We get that having an integrated market for this occupation is important.” We also had motivated employers and we had motivated regulators, because there was such a labour shortage in Alberta at the time.
So while it's important that we focus on encouraging the credentialling agencies to cooperate, you also need the partnership of provinces, labour unions, employers' and workers' organizations, and colleges as well.
