Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister. Thanks for your attendance here today.
Mr. Chairman, please note that I'm going to be sharing my time with my friend and colleague Mr. Coteau.
The first question I have, Minister, is around the foreign credential recognition program that you highlighted in your opening.
Over the years, I've met dozens of residents in my riding of Hamilton East—Stoney Creek who are health care workers, engineers, accountants and other professionals and who are anxious to share their expertise with us as part of our Canadian economy and to contribute with the training they've received from wherever they've come from in the world.
I know that you made an announcement yesterday. I was hoping that you could elaborate on the announcement and share with us the progress that we've made—and you've made—with the foreign credential recognition program, and what we might expect to see in 2022.
