Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm sorry, to whom is the question directed?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll just suggest that Sheridan supports putting a mechanism in place for IRCC to authenticate admissions letters directly with post-secondary institutions. Sheridan employs that practice internally. We would certainly support that being deployed nationally.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're happy to be held accountable. If the profit margin was our priority, we would have grown internationally at a time when we did not. I think the complexity of the housing market is really difficult when there are 70 private colleges with no on-campus housing and thousands of

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I can't be specific, but Sheridan regularly convenes small tables of international students who call Brampton home. Many of them are not registered with Sheridan. We continue to hear stories of falsehoods around promises made prior to arrival in the country. We certainly hear sto

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Certainly, from the stories we hear from learners at some of the private, smaller, unregulated colleges, they are not privy to the same array of supports. They don't have mandatory health insurance. They don't have housing support. They don't have legal support. There aren't ment

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're open to that and embrace it. I would tell the committee that Colleges Ontario has proposed a charter for all members that will include a quality assurance audit to be done by a third party. That process is expected to launch in the next year.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sheridan has actually limited and held constant its international enrolment for the past few years precisely because of feedback from community agencies about the capacity of the community to absorb—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We were responsive and made a decision internally not to increase our international enrolment, as a consequence of direct feedback from the community about issues, not just in housing but also in the capacity to support students in terms of food security or local services—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much. I'm Dr. Janet Morrison, and for the past five years, I've served as the president and vice-chancellor of Sheridan College. Joining me today is my colleague Rajan Sandhu, Sheridan's vice-president of strategy and general counsel. He and I have travelled toget

Health committee  I do think there are ways to measure what progress needs to be made and I'd go back to the internationally trained professionals. We have experience in IEP advancement, regulatory oversight and the reduction of red tape. We have that in non-health care environments—accounting com

Health committee  When we hosted the health care summit at Sheridan in late January—that was a convened round table, as I said—I was quite impressed by the discussion and the solutions. They're not particularly mind-blowing. The problem is one of talent. We heard that it is one of scope of practic

Health committee  That's a great question. I'm always taken aback when I hear some of the data in this space. You and I are very conversant with the facts that half of adult residents in Peel report living with a chronic health condition, that South Asians in particular are 15% to 20% more likely

Health committee  Thank you for your leadership and community presence. You're certainly well known across our campuses. You know, access is a complicated puzzle. I would suggest to you that we have to make it financially viable for learners. We have to think about the red tape. We have to think
