Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was asked about the number of people who were allowed to land here. In fact, because of the delays in processing caused by the backlog we inherited from the previous government, we have deliberately had to start tearing down the walls between the permanent and temporary streams.
If you'll check the numbers, you'll see that we allowed in record numbers of temporary foreign workers and foreign students. This is to compensate for the time it takes to process six-year-old applications, which can take twice as long, and by law we're required to process those applications, with few exceptions, in the order in which they were received.
