I'd like them to spend a little more money, not just federal but also provincial and even local. As I said before, it takes a lot more money and a much longer period of time to bring somebody from birth into the labour market than it does to bring an immigrant. If we're talking about the cost, it's going to be a lot less to bring an immigrant in. I don't have a number for you today. I would like to see more money invested in our communities, particularly in areas where the ecosystem for immigration is not that developed, to make sure there is a kick-start there to get this infrastructure in place to support these immigrants as they settle.
To come back to your point, I think there is a difference between large urban centres and the rest of the country. In large urban centres, the immigrant population is distributed across the labour market in service industries, in manufacturing, and in higher-skill areas, but if you look at small urban centres and places like Atlantic Canada, you see that immigrants have historically been clustered in highly skilled occupations and in immigrant investor categories. That's because of family-class immigration, refugees, and all the other categories that have benefited the large urban centres more than the small urban centres.
In a place like Toronto or Vancouver, you'll see immigrants distributed across the labour market, but not in a place like Moncton or Halifax.
