Yes, I'm right here. Thank you, Kay, for giving me your time.
Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the officials for being here with us at the committee today.
In my riding, which is a very diverse riding, there are many neighbourhoods that house newcomers and some international students as well. For example, in Parkway Forest there are lots of young professionals and recent graduates who went through the study permit program, and they are looking at the provincial nominee program as a pathway to citizenship. For example, people will be taking a master's degree and, in certain fields after two years' study, sometimes they're waiting for the opening of the PNP, because they're in suspense throughout the year. There is, unfortunately, a lot of unpredictability in the PNP.
To the officials, are we working on increased transparency or predictability of PNPs, particularly in Ontario, when it comes to the student stream?
