One of our challenges is that we don't have access to these people, and that's why changing the selection process and including adaptability selection and having points for that is an incentive to get people to then come to the profession and ask the questions. Then we can give them information, and we can get the accurate information out.
Right now, we don't have that channel, so the only thing we can do is work with the government to try to have access, get the word out, and get the immigration agencies to send them to us so we can get that information. That's why the referral agency, we think, can fill a gap there in trying to do that. That's one of our biggest challenges.
We used to be in the selection process. The last year we did that was in 2001. We had access to 25,000 immigrants who said they wanted to be engineers. The process had to be modified. We had to better it. It had to have a lot of changes. We did not need to throw the whole thing out at the time, because immigration had gone up so much. From 1995 to 2000 there had been a real peaking. The adjustments needed in the system at that time are all in place right now, but we don't have that contact anymore. Where we had 25,000 coming to us in 2001, we have 500 coming to us now, because they don't have any reason to come to us, so we can't give them that information.
