Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to say thank you to you, Minister, for being with us today to speak to Bill C-32.
I appreciated that you spoke about immigration and the importance of immigrants to Canada's economy in our society. As you know, I've been a passionate advocate for immigrants and for more immigration, given that I truly believe that's key to Canada's future economic growth and prosperity. In my riding of Davenport, immigration is also important, not least because 45% of my riding are first-generation immigrants, and also because many of the businesses in my riding are really having a hard time filling jobs and finding talent that will allow them to grow their businesses.
Can you speak to what the federal government has done on immigration and how the fall economic statement, Bill C-32, continues to build on that work?
