Thank you, Mr. Chair.
That's a great question. There are very few professions that asses on a national level. That's where we run into some challenges, especially related to the agreement on internal trade. And we run into licensing barriers. In the past, one has been licensed in one jurisdiction and not accepted in another.
In our opinion, the ideal model is something that was given to the Canadian society by its provincial partners years ago. Because of the size, no single province had the capacity to do the assessments alone. Quebec still looks after its own, but everyone else entrusted the national organization, which is my society, to do this work for them.
We're under contract. We have agreements. They've all set the standards in consultation and collaboration. So we literally have a process that allows everyone to be assessed in Canada, whether they're arriving in New Brunswick or Ontario. And each of the regulators agreed to the standard. So when they've been assessed by my agency and they've been certified by my agency, it's carte blanche for them to work anywhere in Canada, with the exception of Quebec.
