I think the fact that they'll have to wait a year longer than they used to is an added benefit in conditioning them to Canada and Canadian society, and Canadian values, so I think it definitely will help in that regard. I think that's important because Canada has drastically changed demographically since the 1977 act. Since 1990, five million newcomers have come to Canada. They're not coming from the traditional European countries that used to supply us with 99% of the immigrants. That changed in 1967. As a matter of fact, I was one of the originators of the point system that enabled us to go out to the world and welcome people.
Having said that, I still think that three years is not enough time for a person to suddenly decide that they are ready to take on the responsibilities and obligations of citizenship, so I welcome the additional period of time. As I said in my presentation, I don't think it's quite long enough, quite frankly.
