I agree. In global terms, internships, mentorships, and apprenticeships are part of the way we can help integrate people in a regulated profession to step up their skill levels to Canadian standards, or to get licensed. I can tell you that in terms of providing bridge funding for skills upgrades, new permanent residents already qualify for some of the federally supported student financing programs. I know Minister Finley is looking at ways in which this could perhaps be expanded.
I'm going off message here to say that I personally think the federal government, the public service, should emulate some of the progressive private sector employers—those who are partnering, for instance, with TRIEC, in Toronto—in opening up opportunities for mentorship. I can tell you our own ministry has been very progressive in this respect with our student refugee program, where we brought in 20 student refugees, I think, from WUSC—World University Service of Canada—to have internships in our ministry, and a number of them have now been hired as full-scale members of the public service.
