Thank you, Chair, and witnesses.
I wish to comment that our government is extremely concerned about family reunification, and because of that, we have implemented a program whereby parents and grandparents can actually come in on a 10-year super visa. The approval rate has been over 80% among those who have applied.
Let me also move on to say that our government invests $600 million in settlement services. That is a significant kind of investment.
I'd like to hear from Mr. Shields first.
How do you see that we should measure that? What is a good measuring stick to determine whether we are getting the best return for this investment? How do we track the longer term integration of immigrants, rather than processing them through and then sending them out into the community?
I'll hear from you first, please.
