Thank you, Mr. Dalton.
I would say that, for those people, we should expedite recognition of the credentials they've earned in their countries. French-language teachers are still French-language teachers, both here and in France.
I can understand why it's a little more complicated for doctors. These days, we're taking in a lot of people who have completed studies in the health field. They were professional nurses and physicians in their countries but now find themselves working as attendants in nursing homes.
As regards the vitality of francophone hospitals, New Brunswick has taken a major step by conducting a recruitment mission. Some physicians have agreements with foreign schools to hire people who, in 18 days, can be accredited and practise as professional nurses.
Where I think we could really simplify the approach is in the professions that are regulated in New Brunswick, but that aren't regulated elsewhere in the country. I'm really focusing on certain workers, such as language teachers.
In addition, as regards international students, Canada invests in recruitment forums in Africa and Europe. Once they've completed their studies, those students aren't even allowed to start up a business.
There are 300 international students in Bathurst, New Brunswick. Every year, students earn their degrees but aren't even allowed to start up a business and are thus forced to go and work in major cities if they want to earn a living.
I think we really need to review these procedures so that it isn't as frustrating to integrate these people. As I previously said, they are frustrated, despite the fact that they're aware of the conditions they face in Canada. Those conditions must be improved.
