What we decided to do with respect to “others” was provide $5 million in commemorative funding through CHRP.
But yes, we are not considering any additional ex gratia payments to descendants. There's no precedent for that, and we don't think there's broad support for it.
Concerning the Afghan association, I'm not familiar with any discussions that may have taken place. But when people enter into a contribution agreement, it's clear that there's a termination date, and there's no guarantee it will be renewed. I will, however, look into that matter and will endeavour to get back to you.
On the rationale for family class levels, as you can see, we're increasing family class immigration this year over last. We're putting the priority where the Immigration Act puts it, which is among spouses and kids.
But here's the fundamental problem: we have no limit on how many people can apply. There was a recent poll that estimated there are something like two billion people who would like to immigrate to Canada, if they could. And that's understandable. It's a great problem to have. Obviously, we can't settle all those people. There's always going to be an excess of demand over our capacity to accept people, even though we have the highest relative levels of immigration in the developed world and the second-highest level of immigration to Canada in 90 years.
We need to have a mature discussion about how we deal with all of these backlogs, about the problem of consistent excess of demand over our capacity to settle people. We don't want people waiting for years in a line. I don't want that any more than you do. So I think we have to look at ways in which we can perhaps apply the principles of the action plan for faster immigration and the ministerial instructions on the federal skilled worker program to the FC4 program.
