I submit to you that on the credentialing issue that you said is a separate issue, I think you missed my point. The credentialing issue and associated issues are exactly the point. Unless we're dealing with those issues--and I agree that it's not the purview of this committee or probably even the Parliament of Canada to deal with them, certainly not exclusively--we can't talk seriously about how we're going to absorb the numbers of people we're bringing into this country. I simply fundamentally disagree with you. I don't think you can ask the questions you're asking and make decisions and recommendations in isolation from everything else. I think that's one of the fundamental flaws of the process we're engaged in right now.
