Absolutely, I agree with you, and we found that on several other policies in the past. It is something that I personally think would be a great idea, but again, we get the barriers of certain provincial governments saying, “This is provincial decision-making. You as a federal government have no role.”
I thank you very much for that.
Dr. Grdisa, you talked about the barrier for nurses. Again, this is on the same theme here, barriers to new nurses coming in and practising. They used to be able to show up and practise the next day, but now it's taking a long time after they arrive in Canada. Are these federal policies that are preventing them, or are these provincial licensing decisions that are preventing this?
