Mr. Chair, I do. Thank you very kindly for allowing me to.
Thank you for being here. The expectation in looking at this might have seemed fairly simple at first blush, that we could boil this down to perhaps people writing an exam and, boom, they're in the occupation. But the more we delve into it, the more complex it is, so I appreciate your input today.
Two of the immigration issues in the forefront of my mind right now are the language issue and having a pre-qualified standard, as Australia does, testing immigrants to meet a certain standard before they come into the country so they can fit into the education system and the protocols of various occupations.
I'd like your comments on how feasible you think that whole pre-entry, pre-certification standard is in a country that's had an immigration policy, as we have in the past.
I'm not asking you to get political, and we're not here to discuss our immigration policies, but that's an issue, as a legislator, that we have to look at. How realistic is it to go to other countries to set up these types of structures that would be required?
Does anyone care to comment on that?
