While it is absolutely true that Canadian firms have a long history of getting tax payers to cover the costs of training their employees, this is not the same issue.

We are talking about doctors, PhD engineers, and world class researchers who are being abused, humiliated, detained, and denied entry to the US, even though they have valid travel and/or immigration documents.

This clearly presents an opportunity for Canada and Canadian firms, and we'd be foolish not to take advantage.
