I think the government spending on resettlement recognizes the fact that over many years many immigrants have been admitted without language skills, without job skills, without knowing how to get a job. We have to spend this money: these people are here; they're Canadians now. We have to spend money helping them to integrate. The other question is, would it not in the future be better to bring in immigrants who don't require such large resettlement expenditures?
