I believe we are not following the trends of other countries closely enough. We know that in Australia, they are constantly increasing the criteria for skilled workers and seeking to improve the application system in order to yearly select qualified individuals from within a pool, rather than having to take care of each and every individual making an application. These are things that we want to study in order to determine if there are some elements that we might be able to use within the Canadian context.
