The key recommendations we have for you today are essentially that the federal government departments, such as Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, and others, work together with the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks to establish the benchmarks as the national standard for describing, measuring, and recognizing second language proficiency of adult immigrants and prospective immigr ...[+++]ants in educational, training, community, and workplace settings; to promote the recognition and use of the Canadian language benchmarks as the national standard for industry; to improve the functioning of the labour market through the talent, skills, and abilities that immigrants bring with them to Canada; to develop an expanded Canadian language benchmarks national assessment system to support the use of the benchmarks in education, training, and the labour market; and finally, to fast-track the development of occupational language analyses based on the essential skills profiles, in partnership with sector councils.
