Well, I think that's the point; otherwise, these become highly theoretical matters, and quite remote from what I think many of us in our positions as MPs would call “reality on the ground”.
Coming from Toronto, you're probably aware of “priority neighbourhoods”. There's one of them in my riding in Toronto; I knocked on those doors, and it's a very high immigrant population. It's a very highly educated population and a very poor population. It's not unusual to knock on a door to find a medical doctor answering the door who has not had a job in this country for years. It's not unusual to find an engineer answering the door who can't find work even though there is a shortage of engineers in the power industry in Ontario. It's not unusual to find people with MAs and PhDs—and I could go on and on. It seems to me that something has gone wrong in the immigration system and around settlement services that has a far more profound effect on average income levels of immigrants in this country than that very marginal number all these academic researchers have been focusing on.
I'm wondering, in the context of your academic research, if you have focused on the impact of how we deal with immigrants—highly skilled immigrants—and settle them in this country and provide access to work for these folks when they get here. And how does that relate to the numbers you're talking about?
