In the Atlantic immigration pilot study that was done last year, we tend to see a trend towards immigrants to Canada going from more rural areas to more urban areas, even when they arrive here. There's more direct migration straight towards urban areas. Has any thought or consideration been given towards increasing the amount of immigration that would be targeted ab initio towards rural areas, understanding that half of those people will move to an urban area within five years, so that growth due to immigration across the country would be more balanced?
