Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Go, you were expressing yourself and giving a sense of the frustration, where you recognize the deficiencies there. We really try to push the envelope as to what we can do as advocates, whether as members of Parliament or as community leaders, to try to assist someone to come to Canada for a darned good reason. You get frustrated, and it seems as if there's nothing that can be done, that family is not going to be united. My gut feeling is that all members of Parliament want to see some answers to the problem.
One of the things that I see is a problem is that we don't track. Mr. Wong, I think you said it was 300,000 people from China. We have no idea whether it is one hundred or one who stay behind.
There is an issue that I would ask the three of you to provide very brief comment on.
We're just talking about the Chinese community for now, even though the same principle applies for all communities. When you think in terms of the community and the individuals who are arriving in Canada, to what degree do you think there are people who are here without legitimate status, who are actually going to be receiving any form of government assistance? That seems to me to be.... Why don't we open the door? Why don't we just issue more visas, especially if it's a family member and so forth? The argument against it is that of fear. I think if we try to attempt to deal with the fear factor, in other words, that fear is greatly exaggerated, I think then we can start to see more visas being issued.
Can you just provide comment on that issue?
