Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you also to the witnesses for coming out this afternoon.
In Canada, Mr. Chair, each province and territory has their own law societies. But at the same time, the Federation of Law Societies of Canada has created a body called the National Committee on Accreditation.
This NCA basically assesses lawyers who have obtained qualification from foreign jurisdictions and they apply uniform standards on a national basis. Once they assess and evaluate the person's education, that potential lawyer can write exams in any jurisdiction or province or territory in which he or she wishes to practice or pursue their profession.
This question is for everyone. Do any of your organizations have any intention or are you moving toward a similar direction in which you have a national standard to assess foreign qualifications?
