One thing I think we need to look at, and we've shared it in the data we've shown you, is that this discussion centres around a Canadian exam. I would draw your attention to the data we provided. In fact previously the exam provider was a Canadian organization, and the differences we're seeing were also in place then.
That is not to say that therefore this is not a serious issue or not an issue we need to look into, but the previous examination provider that we had was a Canadian organization, and we saw a difference in pass rates: a lower pass rate for French writers of the exam versus English writers. Our current practical nursing exam is still provided by a Canadian organization, and we see significant differences there, too, except for this year, when for a very different reason that changed.
Talking about the need for moving to a Canadian provider I think goes back to understanding what the exam tests. The exam is not a test of the Canadian health care system; it is a test of nursing competencies, and nursing competencies that are stripped of any cultural differences at all. That's really the heart of the exam. If we changed the exam, we would still be moving to an exam that would be testing that.
