That barrier must absolutely be eliminated in order to promote Canadian unity through exchanges involving young Canadians.</p>\n<p>I therefore urge the Government of Canada to begin a dialogue with the provinces, and particularly Quebec, to remove this barrier that impedes young Canadians' mobility from coast to coast.</p>",
