I'll pass on to the Prime Minister Mr. Bevilacqua's recommendation for Mr. Calandra to become a member of the ministry.
Perhaps if.... Well, I'll just leave it at that. I don't want to get into trouble.
Actually I'm proud of our government's diversity. All parties can always do better in this respect, for sure.
I've raised some issues before. You've raised the question of a lack of understanding among different faith groups in Canada, for instance. This is a concern to me. The first issue I invited this committee to look at broadly is the question of integration, the program side of our settlement services, and how effective we are being. We really need advice on that, because we've tripled the money for this but we haven't seen a commensurate increase in the uptake or in the outcomes. This is a subject for real study. Are the settlement agencies doing as good a job as they could? Are they being responsive to consumer need? There are all those issues.
But there is also this question of foreign credential recognition. I would love to have a parliamentary forum where you could call onto the carpet the heads of the main licensing bodies for the professions in this country and ask what's going on. Why is it taking ten years for a foreign-trained lawyer or doctor or engineer to get credentialed in Canada? That would be a great place to shine the light of public exposure: the practices of the licensing agencies. I think that could help all Canadians.
