Thank you.
You had a number of questions related to the skilled worker program, and you've identified, both in your first and second appearances here, the benefits that have come out of Bill C-50 in terms of the reduction of the backlog. But we've also made some changes in a couple of other areas. We've heard from witnesses on a number of these as well.
For example, you commented this morning in your opening statements on the grandparent/parent/family reunification changes that were made about eleven days ago. But we also have a couple of others that have gone through some significant changes. I wonder if you could comment on them.
The first is the provincial nominee program. We've given much more authority to the provinces to work through this process. That has obviously assisted them in their intake capacity and in delivering on areas of need that they've identified. It looks like the scope is going to expand a little on that again for 2012. I wonder if you could comment on that.
