Okay. Sorry. I didn't understand the question.
I guess it would be providing more certainty into their status here. I keep repeating myself, but it's just very important for us students to also have health care coverage in all provinces and not have it expire every four months, because that's really hindering our performance in our studies and in our livelihoods.
It's also about treating us with as much respect as you would treat another Canadian, and not to say “utilizing” students, because that's a little bit....

With that, our meeting concludes.
I would like to thank the witnesses for their submissions, their testimony, and their patience.
I know I speak on behalf of all of our committee members—and this is particularly to you, Ms. Descalzi—when I say that you embody the character traits and values that we expect from immigrants who come to Canada. I know that in the coming years, Newfoundland and Labrador and, in fact, Canada will benefit from students like you immigrating to our country.
Thank you so much.
With that, the meeting is adjourned.
