Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The discussion on monitoring needs and the allocation of resources based on needs is fairly interesting. I think that, generally, most people are going to agree on the fact that the money must match the needs. Now, how do you establish those needs? Also, how are we going to adapt to those changes with time? We cannot instantaneously make draconian changes to meet these needs.
Mr. Kennedy just spoke about aspects like the location where immigrants initially settle. It's a fairly approximate way of determining where the needs are geographically across Canada. I would like to know this. If you had to help the committee and suggest to us a way to establish where the long-term needs are and where we should invest, how would you do that? What would you base your calculation on?
