With respect to temporary foreign workers and live-in caregivers, I think the pathway to citizenship was blocked within the immigration law itself. I think amendments need to be made there in order for them to become permanent residents. Then they can apply for citizenship.
With respect to support for the Chinese community, in the context of citizenship I want to highlight two points. One is the need for a lot more investment in language classes. I agree, as do many, that it is better for immigrants to acquire the linguistic skills in order for them to succeed, but if you have a low-wage job and you have to care for your kids, this is not something you're able to do for a long time. In fact, we're just about to release a report on Chinese restaurant workers on Monday that will show that a lot of them work extremely long hours without minimum wage and so on. I think support for supplemental language classes for immigrants is very important.
The second part I think is access to employment. One of the reasons a lot of our clients actually have to leave Canada and go to other countries is that they can't get a job within their field in Canada. Their international credentials are not recognized in Canada. I remember how one of my clients who used to work for IBM in China couldn't get a job with IBM in Canada. She had to move to the States to work for IBM again.
I think those issues need to be addressed.
