I don't always look at tu quoque as a particularly good policy response. With the government's desired change in tone perhaps the better solution here is to look at how we can equip newcomers to Canada with language skills so they can fully participate in the economy and our economy continues to grow. Given this and given by your own admission that this research hasn't been done, would the government consider taking out this particular portion of the bill until this research has been done, especially, Minister, in light of the significant changes that you've made to the economic immigration levels in your immigration levels report.
