Thank you very much for that.
I think the word that you used is quite appropriate—it's this issue of oversimplication. And I don't want to be targeting this at you, Mr. Busby, but we've had a number of witnesses at this committee coming from academic or research institutions who are talking about the research they've done.
Consistently--and interestingly, because most of these tend to be right-wing institutions—their concern has been about the level of wages for Canadians and the impact of immigration levels on that. Yet they tend to be looking at a single factor, and that is the level of immigration. I get that it matters in theory, but what is missing from this research—and perhaps you can comment on that—are all the other factors that seem to be far more profound on the level of wages in Canada than an addition of a few thousand folks at the immigrant level. I would look to issues like minimum wage levels in Canada and policies on that. I would look to trade policies and practices and the decline in manufacturing in Canada.
In your study, do you have any sense of how big the impact is for these immigrant levels on wages across this vast country and vast labour market?
