Thank you, Mr. Casey.

Thank you to all of you.

I'm going to be very succinct here.

We talked about immigration to urban areas, and I agree that there certainly is merit to it. When we think about Atlantic Canada and the amount of rural area we have, I think about succession planning in farming.

I'm wondering, Mr. Mackie, whether you have some experience from Prince Edward Island. Most of Prince Edward Island is rural. What has the experience been there with immigration?
