I'll ask the gremlins to hold off for a little while with our technical difficulties today.
We want newcomers to succeed as soon as possible. That is why we increased funding to the settlement program by $1.4 billion and we have established the Foreign Credentials Referrals Office. Given that the recognition of credentials falls under the jurisdiction of provinces and not of the federal department, we are working with the provinces to make sure that organizations that are working under their authority are assisting them in recognizing the credentials of newcomers. This is very important to us and we are working together with the provinces to this end.
