Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to all the witnesses for their important testimony.

Mr. Antunes, I was going through your report, “Canada 2040: No Immigration Versus More Immigration”. You wrote about the role of the family class in supporting economic immigration and the need to boost the labour market outcomes for this category. Have you studied the impact that reuniting the family has on the prospects of economic class immigrants, having the family together for support and removing the stress of separation?
