Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for their presentations.
I am particularly interested in the notion you were suggesting of a permanent pathway to permanent residence. I'm curious, because we've heard it from other presenters as well that what people really want is for people to come and stay. Instead of even a temporary foreign workers program, would you support an immigration policy change that would actually allow for individuals to come as a permanent resident at the outset, instead of them coming as a permanent resident, being separated from their family, having to go through the process of getting LMIAs and work permits and so on, and then eventually, hopefully, landing toward a permanent residence pathway? We used to have a program for experienced skilled workers, so maybe we should take that kind of program and expand it to a whole range of different skills, medium, high, or low, to fit the needs of the different communities. Is that something that would make sense to you?
