There is no plan at the federal level to create residencies; it would be up to individual provinces in terms of decisions like that. But I would indicate that this is a framework based on the recognition of foreign credentials. It's not limited to immigrants per se. Even though a large portion of the people with foreign credentials are indeed recent immigrants, I would agree with you that it's not limited to that, and the framework, we would hope, would serve both groups.
