Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Madam Fraser, and all of you who are here.
The government definitely recognizes the need to bridge temporary and permanent resident status to retain skilled foreign workers with Canadian experience. That's why we introduced the Canadian experience class in September 2008.
In your report on page 28, I read:
We found that the work carried out by CIC to design and implement the Canadian Experience Class category included detailed options analysis, assessments of potential impacts on other programs, and a detailed risk assessment. In our view, this is a good example of how programming decisions should be supported.
I'd like to ask all of you which aspects of the program, in your opinion, are well designed and implemented. Can you shed some light on that?
