Okay. Thank you.
We used to have programs in our Canadian immigration system such as the Canadian experience class, the federal skilled workers class, and the skilled trades class. More and more, over the years, people have veered towards one sector of the immigrant population.
I heard from a variety of different places, including the panel today, that we actually need a full spectrum of low-skilled, medium-skilled, and highly skilled workers to come to Canada. Right now, our immigration system does not reflect that need. It tends to skew towards one area. Hence, we are not meeting the labour demands. In the agriculture industry, for example, people come as temporary foreign workers, but it sounds to me, from what Mr. Dykstra said, that we actually need a pathway for these individuals to come as permanent residents.
I would like the presenters to expand on this a little, in terms of a change in our immigration policy. Should we be changing our immigration policy to reflect that need for a range of workers, as we used to have previously?
Mr. Dykstra, we'll start with you.
