I can't speak to the particular article that you quoted, but I would not be surprised—and probably you understood the same—if we see higher numbers this year and higher targets for the next year. Last week I read somewhere that this year, up to June 2016, they had admissions of around 350,000, which was one of the highest numbers in recent times. We've heard the minister suggest at various forums that he would like to see a higher number, and that's what he's hearing from Canadians. My sense is that if we see higher targets, I would not be surprised.
On October 27th, 2016. See this statement in context.
