If I could provide a vision for an occupation-based program, first of all we'd need to discuss whether or not that is even a good thing. If so, then there should be a process where different industries have a transparent process as to their input and whether or not we require occupations for a specific industry. Right now we don't know where the researchers and the minister are getting their information from. If they have their own internal researchers, which they claim that they do, where do these researchers get their information? There are a lot of problems with that.
There are also a lot of problems with the predictability of the system. We have a lot of people who spend years and years trying to apply, and if all of a sudden every single month the occupations change, then how do they even know whether or not they have a good chance to apply? It's not a game to people; these systems affect people's lives to the core for their families, and we can't just play games with their lives. This system should be in a bill of its own, properly debated with immigration experts from around the country, and the government should answer to what kind of system it envisions for an occupation-based system.
