Thank you.

I'll just do a shout-out here that this is important. There's been exploitation. It's been undervalued, underpaid, for a really long time. I would like to shine a light on this important work. We need to be regularizing the immigration status for people who are doing this very important work.

I want to go to paragraph 7(1)(d), because you mentioned it—“qualified and well-supported”. Can you just give us the interpretation from your department of “qualified and well-supported”?
