I do have to say that it is frankly unfair and a little disingenuous when you're talking about immigration levels and immigration planning to cherry-pick particular categories without considering the overall impact. So I would invite you, Mr. Oliphant, or any member, to submit to me what you think our overall levels should look like. Should there be a higher percentage of seniors? Should more than two-thirds of the immigrants be family members? If that is your view, fine. It's a legitimate view. Let us know.
