Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My regards to all the witnesses and my thanks for their presentations, which were very interesting.
My questions go to Mr. Poloz.
Good afternoon, Mr. Poloz. It is always a pleasure to have you at the committee and to hear what you have to say. Your presentations are always crystal-clear.
I will start with a question about what you have just said on immigration as an important engine of economic growth.
When you say that an immigration rate of 1% can bring about a 1% increase in economic growth, does that also hold true in measuring the per capita GDP, the gross domestic product?
In your opinion, one of the factors limiting an increase in business productivity is the labour shortage. Did I understand correctly? Would you like to mention anything else?
