Tories say ‘Foreign professionals shut out’

The Canadian Press
Toronto (Mar 5, 2007)
Federal efforts to resolve the issue of foreign-credential recognition is being hindered by professional regulatory agencies, says Conservative MP Jason Kenney.
The agencies are “keeping the doors shut” for new Canadians trying to find work in their chosen profession, he told policy-makers at a weekend diversity conference


Doh! No kidding! After fourteen months of vacillation about the much promised $18 million towards helping immigrants settle with the foreign credential recognition program, is this the best excuse the Tories could come up with? Is there anyone in Canada who DOES NOT know this?
C’mon Jason, let’s get some movement here!
