My main request to you as a committee to both reflect and, more importantly, act on is to see what you can do to reduce barriers to the progression of our internationally educated professionals. Whether it was the example that I just gave, particularly doctors and others, we need to come up with processes and further research so that we can say to internationally educated female professionals that this is what we can do to help you not only to get caught up to what you were doing before in your country of origin, but also to excel in the Canadian context.
