Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Johnstone, I'll continue with you.
I agree with your sentiments about the strength of provincial nominee programs and identifying where particular gaps are. It's why my wife is in Canada. She immigrated to Canada from Australia because of the B.C. provincial nominee program, which identified her skills as being in shortage here on Vancouver Island.
You referenced the existing agri-food pilot program. Continue, if you would like to, any thoughts you have on that particular program. Also tell us if there's a series of concrete recommendations you would like to see us make as a committee in our report. That's what our ultimate aim is with this report: we want to make those kinds of recommendations and have the federal government respond to them.
If there's anything else you want to add in terms of getting stakeholders more involved or anything we can do about encouraging our universities to reach out to get more Canadians connected to those jobs, we would appreciate it.
Thank you.
