I don't have the numbers on how many we should admit each year. I believe that once we admit skilled workers, for example, they have their parents living in their home country.
If we don't have a locked-in ratio like 7% to 8% for the past few years, if we keep cutting that ratio, that means more and more new immigrants won't be able to reunite with their parents in Canada, and then they'll have to go back home to take care of their parents. I think the immigration policy should allow us to bring our parents here so we can stay here for a longer term. Otherwise it's going to be a short-term stay, and then we have to go. I don't think that's the right direction for this country.
Thank you.
