The point system may be a good system, but there are several factors to it, age being one. We are looking for younger people. Education is a factor. Every year of education will get a point, and this does not necessarily translate into the kind of immigrants we are looking for. As I often maintain, if Canada needs taxi drivers, there are certain qualifications for taxi drivers. Let's bring in the taxi drivers. Let's not bring in a guy with 21 years of education and a PhD to drive a taxi.
