Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Messrs. Yussuff and Flecker. I'm pleased to hear your comments. Once again, as my colleague mentioned, virtually no speakers support this bill except one. You said we should not devote too much effort to filling jobs and meeting employers' requests. That's not what the bill is about. You say it leaves discretionary power with the minister.
What leads you to believe that the minister will give this kind of immigration a priority? I agree with you that building a country is more than a matter of meeting labour needs. We need a diversified society that has a number of qualifications in various fields. These are people who have the ability to integrate and who constitute a positive contribution to our population. We aren't a placement agency for employers. What leads you to believe we're headed toward that?
