There are a number of attempts. The College of Family Physicians—and perhaps it should speak to this—is actually undertaking reciprocal agreements with other countries, where the acceptance of training in that other country would be accepted automatically in ours. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, the other specialty organization for medicine, surgery, etc., is doing exactly the same.
I would point out, though, that because the training is acceptable, it doesn't mean that the qualification will be equivalent. I like to use the example of anesthesia in the U.S. In Canada, we require an anesthesiologist to manage our intensive care units; in the U.S. they do not. So even though we accept their training, we require additional training if an anesthesiologist is going to provide full service in Canada. That's one level.
The other level—and perhaps your Quebec colleagues can talk to this better—is the France-Québec Entente, which is actually a reciprocal arrangement with the regulatory authority in that country. It is an interesting model where Quebec would accept an individual, and Madame Lefebvre can probably explain that better, but it is an example for this committee.
