So you're referring to paragraph...? Okay, the title.
As the Auditor General mentioned, that whole issue is very important. It's been a longstanding issue. We have seen the government put two programs in place. We have the foreign credential program put in at HRSDC. We had another one very recently in immigration. It was still early, but those programs seem to be working pretty well.
One is a contribution program. There are a lot of players involved in foreign recognition: provinces, territories, professional associations, and employers. So the program is providing contributions to all of those organizations to facilitate the recognition of foreign credentials. The key role the government can do is facilitate since most of this is provincial jurisdiction.
We were quite pleased to see all those new initiatives taking place. I guess the most important one is the development of the pan-Canadian framework that all the provinces and the federal government are working on. The last discussion we had with the department says it's very close to completion. It still has to be signed, I think, by two provinces, but the intention was to announce that in the fall of 2009.
