Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Sunday for the development of a national standards system that would allow qualified doctors and nurses to work in any province or territory in the country.
Poilievre proposed what he called a “Blue Seal” standard, modelled after the Red Seal program used in the skilled trades. The standard would apply to the national competency test for a worker’s profession, and if health-care workers pass the test, they would be quickly licensed and able to work anywhere that adopts the new standard.
So long as they are able to screen for fraud and ensure that the institution attended by the physician offered a sound training with standards equivalent to our own.
