Thank you once again, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Walsh, I would agree that specifically in our profession I have seen the change, and I'll answer some of my colleague's concerns also.
For a few years I had been trying to get into different universities in different provinces, and there were different standards. That obviously has changed now. As a lawyer you can virtually go to any province, and for a certain period you don't have to go through any requirements. You simply put your name in and you can pursue your profession, as far as the lawyers are concerned.
From all this discussion today, I want you to reconfirm my understanding that as far as recognition of foreign qualifications or evaluation is concerned, the federal government can take the leadership role by facilitating or assisting or encouraging the provinces and territories to get onboard and work together to recognize the foreign qualifications, but nothing more than that. They cannot force any province, any regulatory body, to follow suit, to recognize qualifications in any specific manner.
Is that my correct understanding?
