To elaborate on that point, in a technical briefing the deputy minister indicated how they might use that power. For example, if there were a drastic shortage in any one profession in Canada and one provincial program was taking all of the applicants preferentially, they said the minister would have the right to intervene and stop those individuals from going to that province. That was the example they used to show how this could apply outside of the areas that have been indicated as having the intention to apply.
