Mr. Chairman, Premier Charest said he supported a Canada-wide approach to credential recognition. We are working with all the provincial governments including Quebec. Some things happen at the federal level, including the advice that our department provides to newcomers, before they come to Canada, on how to apply for credential recognition. Our department can do some things in its foreign missions to assist newcomers before they come to Canada.
We are trying to create a more helpful space for individuals, whether that be in Quebec, Ontario or other provinces, and to establish a process for recognizing credentials that will be easier and healthier. Even if Quebec weren't part of Canada it would make eminent sense. The European Union has a framework for recognizing diplomas from all countries. It just makes sense.
