Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the big issues that Ministers across Canada are trying to address is how to measure prior learning and the whole field of prior learning assessment, and how to recognize the qualifications that immigrants to Canada bring to the table is not something that we're struggling with in our jurisdiction alone, but it is a problem all across Canada. I would be quite happy to continue to work on this file. One of the big issues that we have is we have a lot of professions that are self-regulating. It's been somewhat of a challenge to get some of those professions to come to the table to deal with prior learning assessment and try and ensure that we can see professionals from other regions or other countries come into Canada. But it is something that I'm prepared to keep working on.
