As you can see and appreciate, living through this issue in my own personal life made me passionate about this issue of foreign credential recognition. I have been working on trying to understand this issue for some time now.
Correct me if my understanding is wrong, but my impression is that as far as the federal government is concerned, it can assist or take a leadership role, I would say, to assist the provinces and territories in dealing with this issue of foreign credentials. In the first budget tabled after I was first elected in October 2008, our government had set aside $50 million and established a pan-Canadian framework. In a sense, this was assistance to all the provinces and territories to work together with a positive attitude and move forward towards the recognition of foreign qualification.
Is that the maximum the federal government can do when it comes to the jurisdictional issue?
