Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The issue around immigration, we've heard, has to do with immigration level numbers, as well. I know there's a special program for the Atlantic provinces, but really, as Mr. Fares was saying, we need more immigrants. The truth of the matter is that we have an aging population across the country, although that is more severe in the Atlantic provinces. We also have a situation in which people are just not having as many babies. My mom had six and I have two, case in point. That's the reality we face today.
Should we be looking at increasing the immigration level numbers? Right now the number is 300,000. Should we be looking at increasing the number for the Atlantic provinces, but more to the point, increasing that number for the rest of the country as well? It's just a quick question to get your sense of this, and then I will have a couple of other sets of questions.
Mr. Fares.
