I'll try to keep it very quick.
I think in terms of looking at strategies and federal-provincial cooperation, I'll make a quick analogy. Are we looking at the beach or are we looking at the sand? From a federal level we need to look at the beach, and our goal, of course, is to clean that beach. We need to work with all kinds of different groups because the problems in that sand may be different in each and every province, so we need to take it from a much higher level.
Obviously we do need to have clear objectives, and those objectives have to be stated and meetable, reachable. But one of the things the federal government can do is provide two-way communication about where the problems are, how to reach the problems, and reach out to them, because they can do a sharing job that simply isn't being done anywhere else.
Graduates, especially overseas graduates, are not a significant problem in education, though it really is a problem in other sectors of our economy. We have mobility for teachers all over Canada, including those who come from other countries. In fact, there are not many of those, since we have too many teachers in Canada at the moment. That is rare. Canada may even be the only country in the world with a surplus of teachers.
We have started to look at this problem and at the question of mobility across the country. The federal government and the provinces are studying the issue. The effort has already borne fruit in some fields. I have raised the matter not only with parliamentarians but also with people working in provincial governments. This is one of the aspects that is improving.
