I've never worried about an immigrant finding a job. I'll tell you one thing. If someone decides to leave their country, their parents, their home, friends, language, and culture, and go to a strange land, they're not lazy. They have the energy. They're out there and they came here to make good, to have a good life and a more comfortable life. They're looking for opportunities. Look at us in Canada. Immigrants came in and built this country.
I can tell you that in Nova Scotia—allow me to say this about the Lebanese community, because I'm of Lebanese background—they did a study two years ago. Every Lebanese person accounts for 3.8 jobs in Halifax. This is immigration. These are immigrants. I'm not worried about them.
I worry about what Gerry said, and I agree with her. The community sponsor program is the most important program we could put in, because if I come to Canada and I have a community that I can take comfort in, I stay. This is the most important thing, because even if I have a job, what happens after five o'clock? What happens on Saturday and Sunday? You have to make immigrants and newcomers comfortable.
