You touched on a lot of aspects, including the matter of the arrival of the women from the Caribbean, then of Caribbean men a little later for agriculture. At the time, Canada opened its doors to black immigration under pressure from the United Kingdom, to set an example for other Commonwealth countries so that we would accept more people from those countries, from the Caribbean. What I mean is that this was supposed to be a major anti-racist step. According to the Charter, however, we now treat them differently from whites. That's where there is still progress to be made. However, I entirely agree with you that that was an enormous step toward openness at the time and that it nevertheless gave rise to migration from racialized countries, as they say.
There are a number of studies, in particular a study by Statistics Canada, which explains that highly skilled immigrants who have recently arrived in Canada are now doing less and less well in entering the labour market. It must be understood that, in the past 10 years, there has also been exponential development in the recruitment of employers through the temporary program. It think that's related. I recently saw a presentation that explained that the employers aren't there, that they aren't very available when it comes to job entry programs for these immigrants who arrive in Canada. What must be understood is that, for the employers, it's much more advantageous to bring in people through the temporary program. Where they have servile status, we can understand why that might be interesting for an employer, but apart from that, things go much more quickly. That was given priority by the government over permanent immigration. In addition, if an employer wants to sponsor workers for permanent residence, that's extremely complicated. It's much more complicated than to do it for a temporary worker. That means that Canada's immigration system doesn't at all recognize labour market needs, if you will.
