If I put on my hat as a representative of a business employers organization, I entirely share your point of view. One of the major purposes of immigration is nevertheless to contribute to the wealth of Canadian society and, in particular, through labour market entry. As you said, when you have a job, the rest comes somewhat in addition to it.
I'm simply trying to say that, in actual fact, immigration is not entirely a placement agency. It's a little more complicated than that. I can understand that there are other objectives and that, especially in these years after 2001, that a certain number of checks have to be done and that that takes a little time, even though we can deplore the fact that there indeed seems to be more bureaucracy in this sphere of activity. I willingly admit that. We can clearly do better, and go faster. Some criteria used to select immigrants clearly help submerge employment-related criteria. There is a kind of dilution of these criteria. So I agree with you.
However, having regard to all that—and I'll close on this point—it is important that, while working very hard, while insisting that government simplify these procedures, we also have a mechanism or a release valve, as it were, that is faster, temporary workers, while putting in place conditions so that these workers are not exploited. In that respect, I entirely agree with the organizations that have testified here.
