Frankly, we had proposed expanding the Red Seal program to include a blue seal program so we could get medical personnel and health care workers out of taxis and into positions where they could serve Canadians.3 Promise · 22 words I would say that, of course, we support the expansion of the Red Seal program to also include a blue seal program.
