That's a really good question.
I think the process is very slow, and unnecessarily slow. There is this national assessment portal. It's the national assessment [Technical difficulty—Editor]. It would be to work with that national organization, because that incorporates all the provincial and territorial regulatory bodies. I think if there was more national agreement about the process and about speeding up the process [Technical difficulty—Editor]. I think that's where we would start.
I would also like to see, as I said in my presentation, more national work being done at the level of bridging programs, making them standardized and flexible. Certainly there will be some people coming from some health care systems where there's so little difference, but I think the notion of identifying gaps and then building specific programs, flexible programs, is very long-term and cumbersome, so there needs to be a simpler standardized bridging program.
There's a lot of experience now in Canada with what the needs are that an internationally educated nurse.... Much of the adaptation is at the level of the culture of different health care systems. There is already a lot of knowledge about what the needs are and how to address these needs.
That's not a very clear answer, but I think it's a very important area.
