Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
There are two points I'd like to clarify. One is on what I was asked earlier. Historically the information about the skills and trades and professions of those in the backlog has not been kept. We've only just recently started coding it. So to say that there are no electricians in the backlog is not accurate. We do not know, because those fields have not been coded yet. I wanted to clarify that.
Secondly, I'd like to point out that the point system that was put in effect to evaluate whether people had sufficient points to come here actually discriminated against the skilled trades. There are big points given for having more education, not for how relevant the education might be to our labour market.
People such as electricians, who may or may not be in the backlog, would tend to have lower qualifying points, and there may not be as many of them because of the point system that was brought in by the previous government.
