When we had a federal-provincial-territorial meeting with the provinces at the end of June, we discussed this issue. We invited them to begin discussions with us about long-term targets, but we also sought their input over the summer in terms of the current numbers we brought forward. They had been involved in that process, and we actually had a formal discussion with them about those numbers. We think that's important for two reasons.
First of all, part of this is about meeting labour market needs and ensuring that families are reunited. Part of it is also keeping in mind that the provinces provide substantial services to newcomers through the schools and through all kinds of other ways, and it's important that they be able to provide the resources necessary to support them.
We don't want to see what occurred in the past, which was more and more people coming, but their outcomes getting worse and worse. That has been the story of the last number of years, and we've got to turn it around. It's our obligation to find a way to improve outcomes so that when people come here, they're really realizing the great Canadian dream.
