Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister and the members of your staff, for attending.
When we look at prospective foreign nationals immigrating to Canada we screen them for health, safety, security, education, skills, identity fraud, a whole host of things. Out of all this, do any other deficiencies still exist, in your opinion?
In some of our health screening we still only screen for three basic items. I believe they are syphilis, TB, and HIV, but a whole host of other diseases can be a strain on our system.
In terms of skills matching with our economy, we definitely need to have a better idea of whether the skills they have practised overseas comply with ours.
Perhaps you can elaborate on some of these deficiencies and how we wish to address them.
