I would point out that Quebec has had disciminitory labour practices for
years, and NB is hoping this action will cause other provinces (Ontario)
to push back against yet another double standard put forward by Quebec.

From last night's news:
Now the Ontario government is urged to follow the actions of New Brunswick.
I hope they do...

I'm sure my B-I-L, the unemployed Ottawa electrician, would agree.
Quebec has a minimum $5000 fine for Ontario electricians working
in Hull, yet Quebec electricians can come over to Ottawa to work on
Government and private jobs with impunity.
It's so bad he took a long term contract to work in Baffin Island
(gasp).
Teachers suffer a similar fate...

| On the other hand, a Quebec Doctor or dental hygienist cannot
practice in Ontario before passing certain exams ($$$) vice
versa is allowed w/o any special exams.

| the same can be said for many "professionals". Requiring certification
is not the same as refusal to allow the people to work at all.

| There is a house being built on a street behind my house. Most of the workers
are from Ontario. It's quite obvious when you see nothing but Ontario plates
on the pick-up trucks.
It's funny to see them run for cover when anyone pulls in with a shirt and tie
and a slight hint of being an provincial inspector.

all that indicates is that is illegal for them to work there, and that
the economy is so bad that they will risk prosecution to get work. I
don't see how this changes the offical position of the Quebec province.

Yes I understand that the professionals from LE Strip Club must
be given an examimation before being allowed to work in Ontario. :-)

| Not everything you read should be taken as the gospel truth,,
<< On the other hand, a Quebec Doctor or dental hygienist cannot >>
<< practice in Ontario before passing certain exams >>
My wife is a Registered Nurse ( a Graduate from Quebec ), she stated
that she had to pass an R.N. exam (in Quebec like any province). To work
in Ontario she had to apply to the Ontario College of Nurses for a licence
to work in that province.
She stated that each province has its own College of Nurses, as in each
province has it's own Medical Association for Doctors. Once you've
passed your exams to work in Canada, you apply to the provincial
association where you want to work. They will tell you the requirements
to work in that province (ie. quebec has a Bi-lingual exam for Nurses) and
grant you a licence for a fee.
I believe this conversation was started about construction workers
and not professional Services (They seem to have a better handle on this)
My Step-father (Claude Cloutier) was born and raised in the Eastern
Townships, he owned a house which he keep for his mother. In 1976 we
went there to perform renovations to the home. The local Union rep told
him he could not work on his home unless he hired a local carpenter, he
was told that he was a carpenter from Saskatchewan NOT Quebec. If he
did not comply he would not be able to buy materials...he complied.
This is out right trade protectionism, its not ensuring the saftey of
the people by testing for professional services, but the blind view of one
province doing an act, and when it is done to them they cry
(once again I might add) FOUL.

| Wally,
What you said about Nurses is true. But you are totally wrong,
again, about Doctors and dental hygienist. I wish you'd read before
you fly off the handle (ie. I had to set Lockyer straight before
he too made a fool of himself in here).

| 687.12 | What was the topic ?? | KAOFS::D_STREET | Virtue is relative | Mon Apr 26 1993 10:00 | 12 |
| none of this discussion deals with the real issue brought up by the
government of NB. Professional associations are not the issue (if you
want, start another note) We are talking hear about a steady stream of
workers leaving Quebec every morning, without a simaler stream of
workers going in every morning from other provinces.
Just remember, a seperate Quebec will not have this problem because
the remaining parts of Canada will have no concerns about forigen
nationals working in Ontario or New Brunswick.
Derek.
