Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses.
I'd like to focus on the residency requirements for the first bit of my questioning, and then move on to the intention to reside, if I have time.
People who spend their time in Canada before they become permanent residents, does that have value in their learning what it means to be a Canadian, building, paying taxes in this country? Also, does the whole Canadian experience have value?
I'm just asking very brief questions. If you want to answer, I will ask a follow-up question afterward.
This is for Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Farber, Ms. Go, or whoever.
