I don't want to oversimplify the results that I presented earlier. What I'm trying to say is that the economic results of immigrants who come to Canada should be a very important factor in deciding how we run our immigration system—that means how many people we let in, what share of economic class, what share of family class, etc.
Increasing the overall number of immigrants will have consequences, perhaps, on the economic results of people who come to Canada. If we increase it to higher levels, at some point we'll have more and more marginal applicants getting into Canada who are going to struggle more in the labour market.
At the same time, reducing the economic class share and increasing the family class share will have similar results. I don't really want to take sides—one policy versus another—but what I'm trying to bring into the debate is some very important academic research on economic consequences, which is one of the major problems facing the immigration system today.
