The question then becomes that we have some low-skill jobs, which will always exist in Canada, jobs that Canadians now will not do. Surely, to my way of thinking, if we give these folks landed status and let them raise their families here, they have a much better quality of life and we as Canada become stronger for it.
In Waterloo we have two universities, and one thing I always notice when I go to the graduation programs, and the thing that never ceases to amaze me, is that in the most difficult programs at the university you always find a huge number of people who came here as refugees or as immigrants, because the kids recognize what an opportunity they have and do much better in a lot of ways than kids born here. We're losing that.
