So I get a chance to answer. Thank you.
Our objective is to help business stay in business, to make sure that the immigrants who are coming here get a chance to succeed in their jobs. That means matching their skills with our labour needs. That hasn't been done.
If I could draw an analogy, it would be like saying, “Okay, you're going to build Team Canada as a hockey team and you'll take the first 25 people in line.” That might seem fair because they lined up in that order. That's the way our immigration system works. But if you take the first 25, you might end up without a goalie. That's not going to meet the needs of the team. So what we're doing is trying to make sure that we do meet the needs of the team.
For example, medical professionals at the front of the line.... Out of some 400,000 a year, we're not going to be processing 400,000 medical professional applications. There may be 400; there may be 4,000. That leaves a lot of room for the other people who have applied, to have their opportunity to come here as well. But we have to be fair to the people who are in the line; otherwise we're soon going to be facing 10-year wait times.
