We certainly are encouraged by it, and the themes that are there, from innovation to immigration, are critically important. It's still in its development stages. Tourism, we would agree, has big potential for Atlantic Canada. I'm not so sure about the Chinese angle on that one. I come from a tourism industry association background from years ago, which is why I'm familiar with that file.
Clean tech, innovation, and immigration are critically important. We have the most rapidly aging population in all of Canada here. We have a critical need for immigration. We met with your colleague the parliamentary secretary for IRCC a while back. I think that whatever stumbling blocks there are to getting people, the Government of Canada really should have an immigration number of 1% of the population, over 300,000. There's a lot of emphasis now on skilled workers. One of the things we also need in this country and in this province is unskilled workers. We did a good job of bringing in a bunch of refugees from Syria a while back. We didn't look at what their skill levels were. Maybe we need to do a bit more of that too.
For the most part, we're encouraged by the Atlantic growth strategy and are still waiting to see how it plays out.
