I know our population, just from census statistics, shows that we've increased approximately 1.6 million over the last five years, which was the amount of increase in population in five years, and 1.1 million of that was through immigration. Would all of you agree with me that if we want to meet our needs of a growing, expanding country, we're going to have to look abroad--in addition to training the best we can, with those we have here--and be competitive at the same time?
