I would like to mention a few things about the Filipino community. Filipino nurses also come under this live-in caregiver program. We know that Canada is in dire need of nurses right now, so I think it is really important to stream the Filipino nurses under this program. Those who are here and already working under the program must be trained to go back to the nursing profession so we can alleviate the nursing crisis we have today and also for these women to achieve economic security in this country.
