Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think there are two things to consider here. We're looking at recruiting individuals who are not Canadians. In that effort, the federal role is to work with various agencies within the federal government for entry into Canada to work.
Yes, provinces and territories determine what the credentials are for the professions that they are recruiting for. The issue here is related to immigration into Canada and how we can better support jurisdictions in the challenges they face in recruiting various positions within the health care sector.
There clearly is a recognition that provinces and territories will determine the credentials of the workforce within their own jurisdictions. The support we're offering is to assist in any way we can to have people come to Canada to work and in how we can better support provinces in the challenges they face.
Thank you.
