Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, Minister, let me just thank both you and your predecessor, Minister Finley, for all the work you've been doing with respect to the backlog. As you know, I come from a riding that is blessed with a large number of new Canadians who have really added to the fabric of my riding.
In your opening remarks you did mention that in 2009 we're anticipating keeping the immigration levels the same. I wonder if you might comment, going forward, whether you've made any projections beyond 2009. I know a lot of other prosperous countries are considering cutting back. Where are we going with that?
