They will contribute to our meeting the bold levels we have set out in the plan. They come at a moment in time when we want to accelerate our economic recovery and create jobs.
I will take this opportunity to emphasize that immigration does create economic growth. It does create more jobs. That's how, we believe, this initiative we have announced will help us meet our important economic needs when it comes to our health care sector. We talk about how our doctors, nurses and support workers are working around the clock. As we confront a second wave, they need a second shift. This is where immigration can really contribute and how we can align the skill sets that exist abroad with those within our borders.
I've also taken the opportunity, in conjunction with our plan, to point out that we have domestic temporary immigration in Canada. I think most Canadians understand that when immigrants are rolling up their sleeves and are helping to contribute to our response to COVID-19, that really does allow us an opportunity to consider accelerating their pathway to becoming Canadians. That will be good for all of us in the long run.
