That's a wonderful sentiment, Mr. Sweetman, but we're not in the health committee today. We're here in the immigration committee, and we're focusing on a number that.... You would like some other number, and you're lobbying on behalf of increasing medical transfers to the province. I do not see a direct link between that and immigration, because as your own numbers prove, the per capita cost for immigrants taken as a whole is the same as that for the Canadian population taken as a whole. If the Canadian health transfer is already based on per capita costs, provinces that receive more immigration get more of the transfer.
