With your permission, let me follow up in these statements.
I do not mean any offence to my colleague André Gariépy when I say that the provincial regulatory systems are not entirely perfect. We saw this during the dispute between Quebec and Ontario regarding construction. It took several years to resolve. And I do not mean only legislation that has to do with professions. In Quebec, the construction industry has specific features, such as a specific law that deals with labour relations in the construction industry. Now this is where problems arise.
In early September, a forum was held on the Quebec construction industry at Mont Saint-Sauveur. The entirely issue of manpower mobility was raised. In Quebec, it is a serious internal problem. The federation also represents construction entrepreneurs. It is difficult for them to move people, even in the regions.
If people from other provinces offer their skills to Quebec entrepreneurs but it does not agree with the current accord, for example such as the one between Quebec and Ontario— and this is very obvious in the Outaouais region, which borders on Ontario—, there are problems. Thus, we must encourage all the work done in promoting mobility, from the interprofessional Council, among others.
Later, I will deal with the recognition of workers' qualifications, both at home and from abroad.
