It does indeed depend on the total future levels of immigration. Of course there are limits to growth for all of our programs. Canada is in a good position. Indeed, we have pleasant choices to make since several programs have been successful. It is clear that the Provincial Nominee Program is a success but it is also clear according to the most recent reports that there are more people being chosen in the context of the federal program also. That program is also a great success. Choosing between the two is thus a positive choice for Canada, but choices have to be made in the context of current levels. If we increase one category, there has to be a decrease in another.
