I do not know if it is the fairness commissioner or Ms. Giblin who will answer my next question.

For example, when an immigrant who is a nursing graduate is involved in a bridge training program, she gets a degree when she completes her training.

Is this degree recognized as being equivalent to that of Canadian-trained nurses? When she completes the bridge training program, can she apply for a job and get the same salary as a Canadian-trained nurse? If not, what is the difference between immigrants and those who are Canadian-trained?

See context to find out what was said next.
