On the immigration side, I think it is critical that we really start to better target the types of people we need to do jobs in this country. We have spent a little bit too much time over the years focusing on a knowledge economy, which Canadians are actually very good at filling, but this country was built quite literally by people with skills in the trades who immigrated here from other countries, and we really need to return to that. That will be critical. Any kind of stream on that front we would really welcome.
With respect to rural and remote areas, it's definitely a challenge. One of the things that have happened through the pandemic is that some of those areas have become more attractive because people can work in different areas, so that will hopefully help to bring different people there.
I spoke earlier about the need for better productivity. A big part of that needs to be more factory-built panelized and modular construction, which will also greatly help rural and remote communities, because a lot of the work can be done in more urban centres. It takes fewer people on site to finish a factory-built home in more rural communities.
