Let me just delink that for one moment, because some assert that family reunification has been credited as one of the reasons for Canada's success in attracting and retaining so many experienced and highly skilled professionals. For instance, if an engineer or a doctor in some country--I appreciate your concern about credential recognition, but that's a different issue--or an architect is thinking of coming to Canada, with the kind of money that Mr. Grubel would like to see in our wealthier type of immigrant that he's proposing come to our country, would the fact that the person is choosing between several countries and may be able to bring their aging mother or their parents, to keep their family intact, be one of the reasons they're attracted to Canada? Would you see that might be possible in some cases?
