Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello, Ms. Sniadoch and Ms. Schulz. Thanks very much for being here. That was very interesting. I have many questions to ask you.
I know the organization you represent is involved in recruiting, welcoming and integrating immigrants. You spoke at particular length about the challenge of retaining immigrants—a challenge chiefly associated with credential recognition. At the federal level, former Minister Kenney acknowledged the importance of credential recognition during his tenure.
Has the province of Ontario implemented a structure for recognizing the credentials of francophone immigrants? What are the problems? When you recruit francophone immigrants abroad, and you hold out the prospect of employment as a physician, a physiotherapist or a surgeon, are they aware, before arriving in Canada, that certain provinces won't recognize their credentials? Do they realize this?
