Thank you, Madam Chair.
First of all, the Bloc Québécois would like to point out that credential recognition falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the provinces and therefore Quebec. Thanks to the 1991 Canada-Quebec Accord relating to Immigration and Temporary Admission of Aliens, Quebec exercises its full jurisdiction over the selection of economic immigrants. The federal role is limited to the final verification of eligibility and the granting of permanent residence.
I'll now turn to the Council of Canadian Innovators.
Have you seen situations where asylum seekers or refugees with technology or engineering qualifications remain underemployed because of delays related to credential recognition?
