I don't think it should be the Canadian government necessarily that makes the determination of these countries. I think the provinces should.
Your constituent is a good example. When people travel to Canada or come to Moose Jaw.... If I were from the Philippines, I would like to have a welcoming community, but I'd also like to have some other Filipinos around, so that when I chose to celebrate my cultural holidays I'd have people with me.
What I'm suggesting by that is that we need, as a province, to start to focus on those countries where we can build a community of Filipinos, Ukrainians—whatever the case is. The province needs to make those decisions, not necessarily the federal government.
What the federal government could do, though, would be to determine that once a province has made those decisions—that this half dozen or these four countries are those that Saskatchewan truly wants to focus on and truly wants to attract a community from to their province—then you should, as a federal responsibility, start to say, “We will welcome the Saskatchewan representatives in those consulate offices, we will fast-track those applicants through those countries, and we will work with you to expedite those people”, not to the disservice of others, necessarily, but recognizing the focus on those countries.
This is the concept we're talking about in this province that I think has great merit. But again, the decision needs to be made by the province.
