Statement made on 29 January 2009 by Senator Mobina Jaffer

Hon. Mobina S.B. Jaffer:

Honourable senators, in the November 2008 Speech from the Throne, the government promised to break down barriers that prevent Canadians from reaching their potential, regardless of culture, background, gender, age, disability or official language. Within this theme, the government promised to make the recognition of foreign credentials a priority.

My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate: Is this still one of the government priorities? What has been done so far?
